I know that vscode has a lot of non-electron native code baked in as well, which I'm assuming atom has far less of.

Does it? I've not heard this myself, and the GitHub page says there's no native code in the main repo: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode

whoops, maybe I've heard wrong then.

Apparently they use a lot of windows apis and dlls -- except that it works on linux and there's no c/++ to generate a dll, and I forget where I read that. (Somewhere on HN.)
