All my juniors use Atom. I introduced them to VSCode but it could not replace Atom because of ease of use and familiarity. An added bonus for us is we useCloud9 which is Atom.

Is there are future for Atom? Yes absolutely. Do I like Atom? No, not really.
I prefer VSCode over Atom, though I prefer MacVim overall.

I don't see them retiring one editor over the other. Microsoft owns Github but Github still runs like its own company. We aren't going to see Atom axed.
