At first I'm using Atom but then I felt it's very slow, then I switched to VSCode. And later on I felt slow too on VSCode specially on project with large files. It takes too much of my computer's resource and I realize..the hell it's an application with webview so expect it will consume more memory and cpu usage specially on watching files.

In the end, I choose more lightly text editor which is not webview based. I found myself compfty using VIM 😁, it's fast, handy and has a lot of cool and helpful plugins.

But then if I have to choose VSCode or Atom? I'll go for VSCode.
