  After embracing open source, they appear to now be extending it... This is an add-on to Microsoft’s open source editor... Is your concern that Microsoft has embraced VS Code, is now extending it, and has the sinister end goal of exterminating VS Code?

    What happens is they extinguish the competing alternative open source products, by taking mindshare and users from them. Then once the alternatives are no longer so viable, they use their dominant market share to their advantage and the detriment of users. It's what google has done with Android, Chrome, Gmail.

  That's the exact thing I thought with this. How are they that without a clue as to the world right now when they do stuff like this?

    I'm guessing they concerned about just enabling Amazon cloud. Amazon has a way of taking stuff and not returning much.
