Totally agree with the sentiment that there's a lack of interest in developing Ruby extensions.
I'm not too sure which features I miss from Atom since it's been almost a year since I last used it. I think my major issue with VS Code + Ruby is the slow development of features I expect to be working, like Solargraph or proper syntax highlighting. The latter might be an issue with my theme though.
Since you mentioned vim, I wonder what most Rubyists use for their text editor.
It's not just the theme, the problem really lies with the lexer for tokenization of the Ruby syntax, for example:
defmethod(argument)putsargumentendmethodargument
This is a valid and widely used way to call a method with just one argument(if I'm not mistaken, RuboCop's default config even throws a warning if parentheses are used), but as you can see, it doesn't get highlighted correctly.
I stumbled across this research by JetBrains a few days ago, it has the statistics of preferred editors for Ruby developers amongst other things.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
