I have read a lot of posts online about Visual Studio Code vs. Atom, the two most used "free" and "opensource" text editors acting as IDEs available yet. Though I have used both, but I wanted your opinion for which one you'd prefer. And yes, no sentence must be in the answer saying "It depends on one's choices". Just tell me what you do prefer.

I just found that atom is going to be deprecated by the end of this year (just ~2months left) and atom's website is already having problems. I couldn't even install the intellisense feature on atom because of errors installing any extension. Just as I learnt this, I removed atom straight away.
Ignore this silly topic!!!! 'cause VSC is the only option left now.

I don't use any of the products (I'm still a VIM guy) but you do have another choice VS Codium. I have not read a lot about it but it has something to do with VS Code being not 100% open source so someone branched off and called it VS Codium. Other than a quick read at https://analyticsindiamag.com/is-micros ... en-source/, I don't know much about them.

Thanks @sfein1000! Till now, I thought that VS Codium was just a duplicate of VS Code, trying to allow a user install VS Code directly from the package managers, such as apt
.
