I don't think that's true at all. My personal experience using both VSCode and Atom on my i7-6700k/16GB work machine has mirrored these results. Files over 30-40k lines simply crash the program.

Me too. Tried Atom for 1 week and crashed about 4 times. I went back to vim (I once saw vim crash with a segfault in 10 years of usage).

Maybe sending those crash reports might help you to get them fixed, pretty sure next release (early April) would get fixed. Or if you use insiders build, could get fixed sooner.
