I don't think that they'll do anything radical with atom. A lot of people are already negative towards the acquisition of Github, and messing up atom definitely wouldn't help. And I don't see how some sort of merge would benefit VS Code, as it in my opinion is superior in most ways.

Completely agree. Just curious as to what the future will hold. This isn't a major issue, and it's unlikely much will happen (if anything), but I want to see what people think could happen.

Also just the fact that these two "competitors" (although the people working on them would likely not call them that) are now both under the same roof (kinda) is both puzzling and funny to me, I guess.
