As devs dont often hear feedback - you guys are doing a great job on VSCode. There are some key issues that Code overcame compared to other IDEs, which is why so many teams use it. One of those is forced telemetry (others are pricing, integration, and memory / resources footprint).
Please continue to push back against moves towards forced telemetry. Some of us work in sensitive environments, others wish for privacy. For those of us that work in sensitive environments we could simply firewall the program to stop talk back, but that will likely break many other things. Currently we have a level of trust that strikes a good balance between over the top strict security and permissive security where there are few issues because Code is trusted from a trusted domain. Forcing telemetry is likely to have Cybersecurity teams flag the app at an enterprise level and start to introduce headaches as they start to try and curb information leak.
