It’s a good thing I ditched GitHub and VSCode!

It was on life support for a long time, and it doesn’t make sense to have Atom around considering VS Code is almost exactly the same thing but better and faster. If you really loved Atom there are themes that make VSCode look almost exactly the same.

I actually prefer Atom to VSCode. I’ll probably keep using it even after it’s shelved by Microsoft.

What can it do what vscode can’t do better?

Atom is very lightweight and has lots of plugins. VSCode is packed with features that just clog my workspace.
