I agree with you, but there doesn't really seem to be any native application that occupies the same space as VS Code or Atom. VSCode is not just a text editor like vim or Notepad++, as some people here imply. As you say, it's a miniature IDE. And it's far more comprehensive than Sublime Text.

For .NET Core + TypeScript, VS Code is almost feature parity with full blown VS, while being an awful lot faster. The only thing I find particularly lacking is debugging, but even that is coming along well.

I agree, I use VS Code because its the best choice I have for Typescript development on the Mac. However, I still miss Visual Studio while using it. The debugger especially wants to make me cry, though this might have more to do with Chrome than VS Code's front end for it.
