Where should the websocket server live?

[DevinBayly]

I'm playing with Atom's editor now as I can't find much about changes tracking in vscode, but all of a sudden I'm wondering whether it makes sense to have a websocket server included in each plugin. It would continue to greatly simplify setup, but also it means that there's redundancy where there doesn't have to be? More thoughts are appreciated here.

For simplicity's sake I'm including the nodejs ws websocket server in the atom and vs code editors. It doesn't complicate the logic of the extensions that much and I could probably externalize it if there's a reason to later on without much effort.
