Some technologies of Visual Studio Code come from Github

Microsoft released its first cross-platform code editor yesterday with great fanfare, but someone has revealed that some of the technology comes from the open source Atom editor on Github. If you crack Microsoft's editor files, you will find some binaries named "atom.exe" in the Windows and OS X versions, showing that Microsoft's editor uses many Atom resources.

Microsoft did not mention at this week's cross-platform editor release event that some of the code came from the open source Atom editor on Github. But in the relevant license documents, it pointed out that some of the code came from the Atom project.

Of course, Microsoft has also added some features that Atom or other similar editors on OS X and Linux platforms do not have, such as IntelliSense support. This is the first time that Microsoft has used foreign technology on a large scale to build a cross-platform editor, which has never happened in Microsoft's development history.
