I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

I'm thinking of ditching it. It's been pretty awful lately. A lot of the official extensions I relied on have regressed to the point of being useless.

Also, releasing a FLOSS editor and then forcing you to use a proprietary build with telemetry if you want to debug .NET code is the most Microsoft thing ever.

I actually do not use it, not out of any kind of moral stance but it just runs slow for me.

What's interesting about it?

I hate Windows. I'm too young for all that Microsoft drama, so they're fine in my books.

And one tought: i do despise microsoft and i dont care if any of its products seems good. They re there to infiltrate and destroy, they have always been from msdos times, and rest assured thats what they will do also with vscode/codium.

Do not fall into this trick, make good products better, dont piggy back on who showed to stick it in your rear end again and again over time.

For all their faults, Microsoft are rather good at languages and the tooling around them.

I'm not sure why people are surprised by that. I mean they are a software company. Their procedures, tools, methodology etc. for software development have been refined over the past 50 years. You don't take over the world with just evil tendencies, you also need to put out decent software in a competent manner.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
