When I said &quot;better&quot;, I should have said merely that Sublime&#x27;s improved, not as a qualitative statement for comparison to others :)<p>I pretty strictly follow the idea that you pick something that works for you and <i>use it</i>. I happen to be familiar with Sublime, but man, I really like IntelliSense when I&#x27;m in SSMS (or when I did Excel VBA hacking - don&#x27;t judge me!). Honestly, until Sublime Text 2&#x27;s vast improvement in startup times it wasn&#x27;t my go-to editor, and oddly it&#x27;s what kept me off Atom the few times I gave it a cursory whirl (my previous alternative? Notepad++). I have zero doubt Atom will eventually be just as snappy - heck it may even be now; I haven&#x27;t checked.<p>That all said, I think the VS Code team is going to eat everyone&#x27;s lunch within the next few years if no one watches them and keeps up. And my money is everyone does try to keep up and we&#x27;re left with a new browser war situation where we have lots of ultrahigh quality options!
