I use Notepad++ editor which almost doubles up as an IDE with the right plugins installed. It suffices my needs so I've never bothered to look at the Atom/VSCode. If I ever felt the need for a "proper" IDE then I'd rather go for something like eclipse or netbeans instead of these electron abominations.
I'm not sure what the future of desktop programming will look like few years down the line but I really hope it doesn't consist of a framework that requires you to ship an entire browser along with your app! Maybe JavaFX/Qt or something from the Microsoft stable like Winfroms/WPF/Core tuned to be OS-independent otherwise we'll soon be needing super-computers to do our daily tasks!
Remember Atom & VS code are not IDE's, there are text/code editors. and well I do install Notepad++ on every windows computer I use. both atom & VS code are a lot better then Notpad++ for programming. I use Visual Studio and IntelliJ as my IDE's. I use VS Code for most projects, as IDE's are generally bolted and sluggish.
