Atom

For a Visual Studio Code/Atom developer that works mostly with Node.js/TypeScript/Ruby/Go and wants to get rid of graphic-text-editors-IDE-like at once, which one is worthy of investing time to pick up?

I'm a total n00b on the subject, but I've read good things about Neovim's Lua support, and I wonder what would be the VIM response/approach for it?

I am a beginner in Python. I don't have a reliable internet connection and I own a weak hardware in my laptop. I want to go to data security after learning python. Confused between PyCharm, Sublime Text and Atom. I want to stick to one. Which should I make habit of?

I use Visual Studio Code every day, it was very refreshing coming from Atom to get a lightweight, all i need setup right out of the box.

After working with Atom for around 2 years I switch to VSCode.

Here is why:

1. Color display of variables in code. This may now sound much, but it improve the display of scss variables and its a core feature.
2. Out of the box features.
3. Automation! VSCode suggests usefull things to you.
4. Integraded console. I love the console in VSCode. It is faster than my 'default' cmd on Windows. For Atom you would have to install a package, that doesn't work so well on Windows.
5. Output logging per Plugin.
6. Setup time. In VSCode I can set up my workspace in under 5 minutes. For Atom I need
7. Plugins work perfect out of the box. This is a mayor one for me. For example: In order to set up Editorconfig you have to adjust mutliple values and plugins to get it work. Plugin creators of Editorconfig for Atom are not to blame: They include a linter, that verifies whether the settings are correct or not.
8. Git implementation. VSCode ships with Git and even if the git packet of vscode doesn't look like much, theres a lot to it. For example you can watch changes inline.
9. Minimap and vertical scrollbar. This feature is much better implementet in VSCode and you don't need an extra plugin.
10. Auto completion. Sass mixins example: @include and you press CTRL+SPACE and VSCode shows you every Sass mixin.
11. Copy paths from open file tab. In VSCode you can copy the path of an file directly when you have it open. In atom you need to select 'show in tree view' and than copy the path or relative path.
12. Tree view. The tree view VSCode automaticly brings you to the current open file by default. This helps when working with components.
13. File search. The file search supports the asterisk so you can search for eg molecule-*.ts.
14. Tasks support. Tasks are integrated in VSCode so eg. for Typescript you can CTRL + SHIFT + B and select tsc: watch - tsconfig.ts.
15. Short waiting time. For example when deleting files or beautifying 20.000 lines of json (Atom hangs up).
16. More releases. Faster feature implementation. Active community.
