Yep, they saw no real backlash to doing this for the Python one, then decided to do it here as well.

- fhkaQ 4y agoOf course not. Python is in the hands of people with a mixed contribution history (to say the least) who want to preserve their jobs at Google, Microsoft, RedHat etc. The rest of the Python "community" does as they are told. They are not in a position to voice dissent, unlike de Icaza, who has a great programming record and courage.
- pedro2 4y agoI sympathyze with Icaza because he does a lot of stuff. His reaction is unexpected though -- after all this is the playbook FSF is always warning as a possible path. He must have been aware of the possible paths and the fear of them when Novell was trying to bring C# onto Linux / Gnome.
- oaiey 4y agoIcaza is a financially made man. He can do what he likes!
- pronik 4y agoBecause most people continued to use VSCode and didn't notice. Other LSP users' communities noticed, but were too small to make a vocal impact.
