Do you have any proof that it is astroturfing and not just genuine enthusiasm?
I am almost a lifelong vi user, but have been using Visual Studio Code last few months because it's Rust experience is smooth. (Though Emacs seems to do well as well.)
- whyileft 10y agoJust that the sentiment scores of comments blow everything else out of the water. Haven't done one in a month or two though.
- komali2 10y agoPeople like a good product.
- untog 10y agoSo, to be clear, your evidence that there is a massive MS astroturfing campaign is that... people overwhelmingly post positive reviews of the product? This type of thinking has infected everything and it baffles me. People are so unwilling to contemplate the fact that they are wrong that they'll jump through mile-wide mental hoops just to put the responsibility on someone else.
- sydd 10y agoGreat, either show us proof or stop your accusations.
- coldtea 10y ago>Just that the sentiment scores of comments blow everything else out of the water. Haven't done one in a month or two though. Well, that's how a product that does things right would look like. That is, if "Sentiment scores" wasn't mumbo jumbo crap -- isn't the social sentiment-analysis fad from 5-7 years ago over everywhere yet?
