While VSC sounds like a better editor, I want to write a multi-cursor, modal based editor with some UI tweaks. Ideally I'll use Xi long term, but I'd like a prototype working first. By your description, it sounds like I should stick to Atom for plugin development then?

I think you'll find that it's easier to do in Atom. However - Atom's API is also probably easier to shoot yourself in the foot with.

Maybe try getting started on both, and see which one is easier or more comfortable?
