VS Code, almost exclusively. I mostly work with JavaScript, both Node.js and web apps.

Atom is too slow. Can take a couple of seconds (!) to even just focus the IDE with a few plugins. Visual Studio is too bloated. There are a few remaining frustrations with VS Code, for example, excluding files specified in .gitignore from search results, but overall, I find it the to be the pack leader.
