Atom is my favorite but with it's performance issues, I cannot tolerate it. If they had equal perf on par with vscode or sublime, it would be my daily driver.

For me its: VS Code
Visual Studio Code, It has more IDE features than your sublime/atoms etc without feeling slow and heavy like Webstorm and Visual Studio. It has the best typescript support of any text editor. It's performance is significantly better than atom and on par with sublime.

At the end of the day it's a tool, and In MY own opinion, the tools it has built in and the packages that can be added and the ease of use make it the best tool for ME, but I truly believe that MS made a great product(for the first time ever...).

The remote debugging (debug in general) for chrome within VS Code is phenomenal.
