About My System and Me:
Well, I am using Arch Linux x86_64 - for which atom doesn't have any official support, but you can install it from the Archlinux Repository with pacman.
I have been using Atom for 2 years. I mainly code in Ruby, and now learning HTML, CSS, JS. But for small projects and scratchpad, I use TUI nano editor, GUI geany and mousepad editors.
Now moving to VSCode:
One day I decided to move to VSCode completely. I uninstalled atom, and installed VSCode. I used it for a day or two as far as I can remember. VSCode was first very confusing to me.
In atom I used to select multiple lines by holding ctrl key and then use the primary mouse button to select lines. I use ultra light theme with colours.Yes, the white theme, black makes me sick, and I prefer #FFF white.
I use the powermode extension in Atom, which spawns colourful particles as I type, which makes the editor funny.
The VSCode has powermode, but that's not good enough, like the Atom. I can't select multiple lines directly. I needed to perform some trick (after a Google search) to get the multiline selection working.
And I needed to tweak VSCode a lot to make it look like what I wanted. Generally I want a simple interface, because it's just a code editor.
Both Atom and VSCode are resource intensive and requires around 200 - 300 MiB memory to start up. Even with a fast SSD, the loading time of both Atom and VSCode is no lesser than 5 seconds.
So I moved back to Atom, and I am happily using it...
