No, I meant that VS Code, (which is similar to Atom in both features, technology used and price), is (much) faster than Atom, (Electron vs Electron), it is obviously not faster than Sublime, (Electron vs Native).
I understood the OP's question as what is similar to Atom, but faster, is it VS Code?
VSCode is certainly nice and fast, but I've been able to do choke vscode a lot faster than Sublime.
Plus, you can't even open files above what, 100(?)mb in vscode whereas Sublime happily opens that in a snap.
