I recently switch from atom, but the one thing I hate is that it doesn't save open files or folders between runs

It does (or maybe it is 'Project Manager' extension). Try it out.

Tried Project Manager, useful but didn't keep the folder open :(. And I checked my settings, I have "window.reopenFolders": "all"

I can't see horizontal layouts. I reinstalled from scratch and still can't see it.

I was wondering, like there is usually a "recommended plugins" list for Vim, does such a thing already exist for VS code?

"To enable horizontal layout for the current workspace, use:

The View menu Toggle Editor Group Layout."

I've been using the Vim extension for quite a while and it's become fairly robust. I think it bests jVi in Netbeans.

The Keyboard Shortcuts Reference reminds me that I always wanted to have a keyboard shortcut spaced repetition learning program where you actually have to press the key combinations. Maybe somebody could write an extension to VSCode.

I never got the hang of Emacs, but there is a decent vim extension (there are a bunch) called vimStyle which at least gets you the vim-like code navigation.

Already exists, use the extensions panel (the square icon in the left most side of VSCode)

The one unfortunate thing about it is that it doesn't work/isn't packaged for Raspberry Pi.

I don't understand why they don't make a package for the pi, if it's a JS app anyways

As much as I wanted to like Atom over VS Code, I find myself changing and starting most of my new projects in VS Code exclusively.

One thing that surprised me that VS Code didn't have was multiple cursors?? (like Atom and Sublime have by default). I didn't realise how much I use that feature (for renaming variables in a short procedure/function block etc). There is probably a plugin for that somewhere, I guess.
