I recently started doing more and more javascript font-end work as opposed to C# backend stuff. So, of course, I started with Atom. But I kept having issues with it, and ended up playing around with VS Code and loving it.

As someone who really loves the C# language, I was really questioning if I liked VS Code just because it was Microsoft. Was I some kind of Microsoft fanboy? I'm glad to see a lot of the "front end" community embracing it - it's weirdly validating to me. :)

It really is remarkable. You wouldn't think that an editor based on the same engine would be this significantly better than atom, but vs code continues to defeat atom in performance and native features.

Don't worry about that. It really is that good. [Long-time Mac and Vim user.]
