VSCode is also built on top of Electron, so I don't think Electron is the culprit of input lag.

Well, I wasn't trying out VSCode with any plugins, so it might still be Electron, and where I was using VSC was on a work computer with 16GB of RAM, so again, that would mask most issues.

But when I can even run a full blown IDE like PHPStorm of Netbeans and it runs faster on the same machine than Atom, I'd say that Atom has some issues...
