I am used to Atom for my text editor. Is there any meaningful difference between it and VS?

Treehouse ModeratorIt's really based on personal preference. :) I used to use atom regularly, but then I discovered all of the extensions that VSCode has. I tried it, and I haven't gone back. I would recommend just trying some different code editors out and seeing what you like. There is no wrong answer! :D
