In my free time, I can work with relative ease. So far I find Atom has the best font rendering of all editors and IDEs. However, as I am mainly a JavaScript Web developer who likes working on business side projects with Ruby on Rails, I use Atom exclusively. *Versions for Mac OS X and Linux are also available. Honestly, there are few reasons to choose Atom over Visual Studio Code in 2018. Overall though, Visual Studio Code, is a lightweight yet solid, cross platform code editor, which can be used by anyone to build apps for the Web or the cloud.

Visual Studio Code is really being targeted at JavaScript developers who want a fully-fledged development tool for their server-side scripting and who may want to venture from Node.js to. Visual Studio Code has been designed to work with existing tools, and Microsoft provides documentation to help developers along, with help for working with ASP.NET 5, Node.js, and Microsoft’s TypeScript, as well as tools that can be used to help build and manage Node.js apps. It also has good functionality, with intellisense and autocomplete working well for JSON, CSS, HTML,, and Node.js. In this regard, the editor has been developed well, and is pleasing on the eyes.

The interface is easy to work with, as it is based on a common explorer style, with a pane on the left, which shows all of the files and folders you have access to, and an editor pane on the right, which shows the content of the files you have opened.
