MSFT is something else. Almost all developers were against Microsoft in the 2000s. Then they "embraced" OSS and Linux since they knew that going against developers would not get them far in the long run. "Honeymoon" phase They were catering to devs with free tools like vscode, WSL, etc..., A generous tier for GitHub (GitHub was bleeding devs right after they announced ms just bought them), etc..., Basically, pampering us. "True colors" phase The honeymoon is over and now they're showing their true colors. Copilot (devs do the heavy lifting stuff and they get all the goodies), vscode with different flavors (c# related issues), sunsetted atom in favor of vscode (one less competitor), etc.. There so much the dev community can tolerate before going nuclear on them.
