From what I’ve seen and learned the editor is not based on Atom, but on the editor that the team developed for Visual Studio Online Monaco.
The bits and pieces that are called “atom” in Visual Studio Code seem to come from the Atom Shell/electron project, to run the Chromium and JavaScript stuff locally as an app.

Another interesting piece:
It is using a similar idea than Eclipse Flux is using for doing content-assist: they are running the content-assist engine as a service in a separate process. The editor talks to that external process to get content-assist proposals, for example. Nice… :-)
