This makes total sense too. I was so hesitant to use something besides Sublime forever, then I tested out Atom and it was slow (this has probably since been improved) and didn't offer much more so the trade off wasn't worth it for looking pretty. Bounced around a few others and then thought I'll try out the VSCode thing, hooked right away and it seems to keep getting better.

Same experience as you. Thought I would always use sublime but my coworkers were so adamant about VSCode that I finally gave it a try. I don't even know that I can point to any single reason for it being better than Sublime -- feels like everything just works a little more seamlessly.
After Atom and Brackets, I almost didn't even give VS Code a try... I'm really glad I did... everything I want in an editor (except maybe binary/hex mode). Integrated terminal and the directory tree are hands down my favorite features, I've seen the directory tree before, but never as good an integrated terminal..
