Microsoft have a really strict privacy terms if you use Visual Studio Code and I got scared… but I decided to risk by downloading it. They introduced few viruses for Mac with MS Office suite and I hope they will not do the same. When I’ve read about Microsoft releasing a new software for Mac, I started thinking about my Mac security and stability: they are famous for creating software ultra unstable, that will be used in offices for decades without upgrades or security fixes. Visual Studio Code: Microsoft may be cool again. I bet that soon it will a better editor and less “wannabe the best” as all the open source projects. It is inheriting all the cool stuff from Sublime Text Editor (like multiple cursor or keyboard shortcuts). It is designed and made by developers for developers (the welcome view is really helpful).It is really slow if you are used to Sublime speed (they are going to fix that too).It can’t load files bigger than 2MB at the moment (they are going to fix that).It is customizable and the plugins are well designed.Atom is really young, but soon it will be stable ( roadmap).The version I was using is slow (Currently: 0.201) but I know they are planning a 1.0 with a better loading time.The release process is really quick: during the week I “deeply used it” I had 4 or 5 upgrades, introducing new features and fixing several bugs… at the end of the day I can say that: This is good if you need specific features, integrations and language support, but also really bad for speed, like loading time. On my everyday working routine, I have to admit that it suffers from the “ open source then wannabe the best” problem of new projects: on the website the main line claims an “Hackable text editor”, and this means that everything is plugin and ultra-customizable.
