I tried Sublime but switched to Atom because, Sublime failed horribly in proper code block folding, which they must fix asap.

Atom has similar functionalities as Sublime. One major drawback which I'm seeing is that it runs on top of Chromium (the same code that runs Google Chrome), which is a performance hit. (Or perhaps being Chromium-based is what makes it a hackable IDE.)

Honestly I am still yet to try VSCode.
