It's free, Cross-Platform and a "normal" editor, so at work it enables to work with others on the same computer. When I tried VSCode, I found the UX a bit unusual and I think I run into bugs IIRC, but I might give it a try again.

(I think I would pay for Sublime if they'd open-source it with some premium package or so because it's much faster.)

I find it more comfortable than the alternatives. I only use command line tools, so what I need in an editor is just a way to type things into files, and Atom is just comfortable when doing that.
