VS Code was a copycat of Atom. Dotnet copied Java.
I use and enjoy my microsoft stack (F#, Github, Azure, etc) but they definitely aren't "original".
It's like they built a nice large city where it's pleasant to live, but lacks the charm of a more intimate town.
- princevegeta89 4y agoI wouldn't call VSCode a copycat of atom. It was completely rethought editor built for extensibility and flexibility that brought the huge ass community together to contribute to it. The remote container support is a major innovation. No other IDE supports it so well even to this day. Atom is a slow ass editor that was copied from Sublime Text but also failed to fix its own shit which was the reason it died.
- nemothekid 4y ago>I wouldn't call VSCode a copycat of atom. C'mon, Electron was literally built for atom. They took the literally framework atom was running on and built a me-too editor
- princevegeta89 4y agoAgreed, but the metoo editor still has had so many unique features vs atom though
- _lhb8 4y agoAnd the iPhone copied the BlackBerry. Nothing is original. Everything is inspired by something.
- devmunchies 4y agoThere’s definitely more nuance and degree.
