One of these days I'd like to write my own plugins. VS Code plugins (last I looked) aren't permitted to have a UI. Microsoft has neatly defined what kinds of plugins you may want to write (language support plugins and some others) and you can't go outside those lines.

I like how this protects VS Code performance, but if/when I decide to write my plugins I want the flexibility to augment the editor's UI.

Also, I think it's easier to write/tweak themes in Atom.
