This is pretty amazing from the company that was trying to kill Linux just a few years ago and is now adopting that mentality for developing and delivering software. While I don't want to be negative; this and other recent moves by MS, seem to be an effort to lighten the overladen ship that is the MS super-tanker. Will moves like this prevent them from sinking? Personally, I switched away from MS products in 1996 and have never looked back, and this does make me wonder...

True, but the company is still schizophrenic, so I continue to be wary of them. While there have been many positive steps like this one, the other side of the company continues to double-down on the data collection and relationship with spy agencies.

In the end, I feel that this goes hand in hand with their efforts to make Azure a really good option for cloud deployments, and it is. They can make more money from people deploying to Azure if they can get the tooling as nice as possible.
