Technically, VS Code is based on Google software.

  Which in turn is based on Apple and KDE software.

    Look at all the nice things you get from open source software!

    I must have missed their cross platform GUI development framework.

  just curious, isn't vscode based on Atom, which afaik is a GitHub project?
  • denisw 8y ago
    VS Code and Atom are based on Electron, which is a platform by GitHub using the Google Chrome browser engine, which was forked off Apple‘s WebKit engine, which was forked off KHTML from the KDE project.

      that's a pretty big leap to call it a fork of a Google project
      • denisw 8y ago
        I wrote that the Google Chrome engine was forked, and that Electron is using (not forking) it.
