I use them both back and forth for a current TS project, and I think both are very good.<p>I think the Atom plugin is a little bit better in the &quot;help you and show errors as you type&quot; department. With VS code I have configured a gulp compile and VS Code Task with problem matcher configuration, but that is a little bit slower than the Atom plugins compile&#x2F;build on save configuration and sometimes doesn&#x27;t show errors on the correct place. But that might be my configuration, so it could be better than I think.<p>What Atom also supports and VS Code not is the glob expressions for included files in tsconfig.json.<p>However most of the time I&#x27;m currently preferring VS Code, because the editor is just much more responsive (although Atom got better with the 1.1 update).<p>Another important thing is that VS code supports node.js debugging (with js and ts), which is really helpful.
