It is not really lightweight. It uses Electron which eats RAM and CPU!

They both are very good, but I enjoy the UI of Visual Studio Code better

As an Atom fork it has the same problems like Atom being more an IDE than an editor and the usage of the Electron Framework results in extremely more RAM usage (more than factor 10), CPU usage, loading time and disk usage.
