Yes, this all rings true. I recently did a fresh install of Windows 10, the first fresh install I think I've done in about 13 years (XP at the time, later upgraded to 7 and eventually 10). I was struck by every step of the installation process: Can we have your information? Can we have your information please? Will you allow us to collect and sell your information? Please give Edge a try, it's great, really! And yet I can see that VS Code is great, though I don't use it myself. I use lsp-mode every day, and I think that's even more important than VS Code itself. And the LSP is brought to us by Micro$oft as well. Definitely a dichotomy. I will give credit where it may be due however - I did install WSL for the first time, and while not perfect, it's pretty good! Better than Cygwin for sure is my initial impression.
