Visual Studio Code vs Atom: é uma boa alternativa no Linux?

Visual Studio Code como alternativa Linux ao Atom

Atualizado em 31 de outubro de 2026

Nossa avaliação

Visual Studio Code is a strong replacement for Atom, especially for developers who want a modern, maintained editor with built-in Git and debugging. It covers syntax highlighting, themes, and extensions effectively. However, it is proprietary, not open-source, which may be a dealbreaker for some. Performance is generally good, though it uses more memory than Atom in some cases. If you need a fully open-source alternative, consider VSCodium or other editors. For most users, VS Code offers a smoother, more integrated experience.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Atom

VS Code can open most text files and projects that Atom could, including source code in various languages. Settings and keybindings do not transfer directly, but you can export Atom settings and manually configure VS Code. Project files like .git directories remain compatible. Specific Atom package configurations will need to be recreated in VS Code using similar extensions.
