What are your thoughts on Atom versus Visual Studio Code right now? I switched to VS Code last year and have been enjoying it.
Yeah! I think they're almost similar in terms of features.
But right now VS Code is 🔥... 😂
Anyway at the end of the day they're just tools.😀😀😀😀😀😀
Totally agree! I'm not one to start an editor war on the internets :D
hahaha! Exactly.
