It's definitely VS Code and it's quite mind-blowing thinking that they're the guys behind Atom, and the blog's domain is electron.atom.io.

Atom doesn't have built-in support for TypeScript annotations. I've gotten the impression that VSCode is somewhat more popular with the TypeScript crowd.

Since MS develops TypeScript they have a big advantage in making TypeScript a first class citizen in VSCode. I see many developers who would prefer a different IDE normally, but decide on VSCode because it seems to be ahead of everyone else on TypeScript currently.

TypeScript and VSCode are good friends. They even generally release new versions at the same time.

Electron folks worked closely with MS in the initial stages to make VSCode fast.

Didn't know that! I don't understand how all this works but was it something to do with the architecture (or philosophy) of atom which prevented them from contributing the same with Atom?

VS Code is built on Electron.
