Discussion on: Why I switched from Atom to Visual Studio Code

I started in a new project made in EmberJS at work and everybody here used Atom. I, coming from Sublime, RubyMine, and a little of Vim, had no issue with trying out something new. I totally loved how I could customize Atom but the random lag when switching/opening/scrolling files made me look for better options.
Just like the author says, people just love VS Code with a passion. I had to try it out since it promised to be faster and more stable then Atom. It wasn't, at first. Until I added my tmp folders to the excluded files setting.
Now I really need the VSC team to finish implementing their "Multi root workspaces" so I can replace Atom for good (But I will always miss my favorite Atom theme: Knight Rider atom.io/packages/knightrider-syntax).
