If they had made it open source, cross-platform (like vs code), with sane telemetry options (unlike vs code) I would have gave it a go. I don't get why they though anything else had a chance in the current market.
- WalterGR 8y agoWhat are VS Code’s insane telemetry options?
- asituop 8y agoThe VS code you download is not Open Source, it has a special Microsoft license and includes close source Microsoft Telemetry ( which could be considered as spyware) which you cannot opt-out completely. See https://code.visualstudio.com/license https://code.visualstudio.com/license If you want a clean VS Code with MIT license and no spyware you have to build it yourself or use VS Codium : https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/README.md This pretty much the same idea as Chrome vs Chromium
- kgwxd 8y agoBuild it yourself with build tools from MS... which have telemetry :/
