I had the same issue when I was working on my React Native hobby project called Sudoku Mobile (shameless plug here).

My laptop almost became unusable and my battery was draining very quickly. I switched to Atom (another Electron based app :D) for the project and I didn't have this issue anymore, but I really missed VSCode.

Atom is also good. You may wanna share some resources for it ?

I don't really know about any good stuff for atom as I didn't use it much in the end. I went back to VSCode within a few days and tolerated the performance issues. Atom couldn't property comment JSX at the time (for me at least) and that made me switch back.
