+Visual Studio Code or Atom? Which Code Editor Should You Use?
+======
+
+Finding a [good open source code editor][1] is not hard these days, choosing one can be.
+
+Microsoft’s [Visual Studio Code][2] and GitHub’s [Atom][3] are two of the most popular, feature-rich, IDE-like code editors that have a huge user base and fan following.
+
+Both VS Code and Atom belong to Microsoft now because Atom’s original developer GitHub is now owned by Microsoft. They have an interesting, modern UI with a pretty looking native dark theme. Both editors use [Electron][4] for the user interface.
+
+The similarities are plenty and this is why it is easy to get confused between choosing one of them for your coding set up.
+
+If you cannot make up your mind and want to compare and choose between one VS Code and Atom, this article should help you decide for yourself.
+
+### Visual Studio Code
+
+![Visual Studio Code’s User Interface with a busy project interface][5]
+
+[Visual Studio Code][2] (A.K.A. VS Code) is one of the modern open source code editors. Its user-base explode because of its IDE-like features but still remaining relatively light on resources.
+
+Visual Studio Code was made by Microsoft and is available on Linux, macOS and Windows. Microsoft released _most_ of the source code of Visual Studio Code on [GitHub][6] under the MIT License on 18th November 2015.
+
+VS Code developers have done some fantastic optimizations with Electron to make it as lightweight and efficient as possible. And since Electron apps work on a majority of operating systems, users of Linux, macOS and Windows can all benefit from these optimizations.
+
+[Installing VS Code on Linux][7] is pretty simple too. It is in fact available in the software center of many distributions.
+
+#### Why you should opt for Visual Studio Code
+
+  * Visual Studio Code is [generally] chosen by folks who want a near-IDE functionality from the start and do not want to fiddle with their code editor.
+  * Visual Studio Code, even though based on Electron, has very little overhead compared to other Electron apps (GitHub’s Atom).
+  * More out-of-the-box functionality like Microsoft’s IntelliSense auto-complete, Git integration, Markdown support.
+  * Plug-ins can only add features, themes and add support for new languages; and this plug-in constraint ensures the editor’s core stays familiar even after adding new plug-ins.
+
+
+
+The binary releases [distributed by Microsoft][8] are still proprietary freeware. [VSCodium][9] builds upon the publicly open source code of Visual Studio Code. However, the discussion on VSCodium is beyond the scope of this article, except for considering it as a viable alternative to Visual Studio Code if you want the functionality Visual Studio Code offers, but without any proprietary elements to it.
+
+### Atom
+
+![User Interface of the Atom editor][10]
+
+[GitHub’s Atom][3] is another free and open source code editor available for Linux, macOS and Windows. Atom is a desktop application made with Electron for easy package development using JavaScript.
+
+Atom’s source code was released under the MIT License [on GitHub][11]. Since Atom is a GitHub product, it has Git Control embedded in it.
+
+Atom is dubbed as the “hackable text editor for the 21st Century” because of it complete customizability using HTML, CSS and JS.
+
+Like VS Code, you can easily [install Atom on Linux][12] and other platforms.
+
+#### Reasons to choose Atom
+
+  * Atom is preferred by people who want a bare-bones editor and want to build upon it because of Atom’s hackable nature.
+  * In-built Git and complete GitHub integration; not surprising considering it is developed by GitHub
+  * [Atom’s plug-ins][13] are very easy to search, install and upgrade, from the app itself.
+  * Plug-ins available for Atom are very extensible, and can end up completely changing the editor’s functionality and end up creating almost a new editor; It truly is “hackable”.
+  * Atom’s binary releases and its source code are fully open source (unlike Visual Studio Code’s binary releases containing proprietary parts + telemetry).
+  * You can [turn Atom from a code editor to IDE][14] with smarter context-aware auto-completion, code navigation features, document formatting and more.
+
+
+
+### Conclusion
+
+Both Atom and VS Code are built on Electron. But Microsoft has done more optimization on VS Code to make it as lightweight as possible.
+
+At this point, VS Code is like Ubuntu, ships with almost everything out of the box. While Atom is like Arch, minimal and extremely hackable (extendable).
+
+Both, Atom and VS Code technically are under Microsoft and eventually will reach feature parity. Hence, it is best to go with the editor your community (Web dev/Soft dev) leans towards and pave the path ahead. Maybe you end up with Vim!
