Pedantic, but VS Code does not share a lineage with Atom, besides the fact that it is built on Electron (which was, admittedly, originally built for Atom.)

I meant Atom used to be the base, and now it's VSCode

    VS Code was not based on Atom's code base.

      What EGreg is saying is that most development environments and UX used to be based on Atom, while they are now based on VS Code.

      EGreg didn't mean to say that VS Code used to be Atom, or is based on Atom, though I agree his wording was a bit ambiguous and it could be interpreted that way.
