I was a Atom user before I discovered Visual Studio Code, hesitated for a long time before I tried it. Now Visual Studio Code Insiders is my daily editor. Miss Atom though, mainly because it was written in CoffeeScript. :D

Atom still takes special place in my heart due to it's beautiful UI 😍
Unfortunately to meet the deadlines productivity is the key, that's why I find VS Code superior due to it's features, extensions, etc.. 😉
Surely I use Atom theme on it (One Dark Pro), but it's still no match to the look and feel of Atom's default ones 🙁

Minesweeper :) Not completely a joke. Because I like so little from MS. But to be serious, MSSQL Enterprise Manager in the old days was really a life saver. Nowdays I don't use MSSQL anymore so I don't know how it is now.

VSCode is invaluable! Moved to it from Brackets and haven't looked back since, such a better workflow.

VSCode all the way. When I started learning C# and saw the I had to use Visual Studio, that was a really tough decision for me, because I am so used to using VSCode for everything, and I mean everything, even notes. Imagine my relief when I got OmniSharp working, hehe

Oh wow, I've read the other replies, Linux seems to be a damn popular feature of Microsoft.

According to Microsoft's telemetry it's: notepad

It's probably also the only one which works properly and has been consistent in its usage for years. I use it as a notepad, for quick and temporary notes.
