Why would anyone on Linux use VSCode??????

I hated Microsoft in the 90's and 00's but today's MS is not that bad. VSCode in particular is a good example of MS now being a good citizen of Open Source.

And as other said, if you don't like the telemetry in VSCode there are forks without it.

@flashgnash also edge is a great browser we just hate it because of the way they force you to use it

We got to be mature. Microsoft (and many other corporations) are a problem due to their unfair practices. But this is not a moral war against them, when we are not the problem. If we have vscodium, which is opensource and it has telemetry removed, which is the problem?

I would be happy if they didn't made the internet a worse place, if they weren't greedy billionaire assholes, if they didn't have a monopoly, but vscode does not affect my sleep.

Run three flavours of Linux at home and love Microsoft. Why does everything have to be in opposition?

I hate Windows and dislike a lot of Microsoft products, but I think we're way past Microsoft being the bad guy. They kinda like Linux now, and probably do more good than bad for it. There are much worse companies in tech, I think Microsoft's worst crimes as of late is creating Teams and being boring.

nope, I deeply hate microsoft and I don't use their products. Millennials don't know the history.
