They made one of the best text editor/IDE and released it for free. I wouldn't call that being lazy and cheap.
- reaperducer 5y agoVSCode isn't a gift to developers. It's a marketing tool.
- Zababa 5y agoWhy can't it be both? Microsoft has been doing great things recently, with VSCode, Typescript, C#. Of course maybe it's the first step of EEE. I'm personally worried about the VSCode/developing in containers that's closed source/Github/NPM acquisition, that sounds like they're preparing some kind of best of class developing experience (probably linked with Azure too) that will be proprieteray. But for now they remain well behaved, and everything until now is open source.
