I wonder how noticeable the recent performance improvements really are.

I have been on VSCode for a while but might give Atom a try for a change, and see how much it has evolved.

Stick with VSCode. It's better in my experience.

I love Atom, and use it as my main editor, but it's many times slower than Sublime Text.

I hope but doubt Electron will ever get near native in terms of performance.

Yeah, even the 2x claimed is nothing compared to sublime.

I'm curious if you have tried VSCode? It seems significantly faster than Atom and is built on Electron (and I think an Atom base).

I prefer VSC too, but no harm in trying out the improvements in Atom.

There's one feature/plugin in Atom that I wish VSC had, which is browser-plus. I haven't found anything comparable in VSC, which is a shame as it'd be useful when iterating through website designs.

Unlikely, especially with plugins.

Microsoft has an extraordinary amount of in-house talent when it comes to IDEs and performance, and it shows in VSCode.

The difference in responsiveness between the two editors is stark and it's a primary reason I never use Atom anymore (though the increasingly sophisticated intellisense and integrated CLI tools is what's kept me in VSCode).
