That was a deal-breaker for me. All of my stuff is broken out into many small projects, and I&amp;#x27;m trying to go further in that direction rather than toward more monolithic codebases.&lt;p&gt;That one factor was a deal-breaker and I went back to Atom (though I still use vim just as often as Atom, since I don&amp;#x27;t have &lt;i&gt;every&lt;/i&gt; project open in Atom at any given time, and sometimes I just need to edit one file really quick and check it in).&lt;p&gt;VSCode is very good. But, as long as it&amp;#x27;s got a one-project model, I can&amp;#x27;t do anything with it.</text></comment>

I really wanted to like Atom, but then I tried VSC. It&amp;#x27;s an incredibly well done editor, and it doesn&amp;#x27;t feel nearly as laggy as the average Electron app.</text></comment>
