I never receive intrusive notifications from VSCode. It quickly and silently updates every once in a while when I close the program. I'm not sure what kinds of malicious extensions you must've had installed.

> It quickly and silently updates What about the “What’s new tab” that opens right when you want to have some work done? Or the notifications you get at the bottom-right corner suggesting to install extensions when you just want to see inside a file. I mean, many people don’t care that much, it’s just a little annoyance to me, as little to not spent 5 mins to find a solution.

  love those, let me know if a new feature is available and how to better vote a new home type and if I don’t care? instant close. No nagging of “are you sure” just straight and to the point.

    That's my view, too. At one point I set all of my extensions to manual updates only. But that became cumbersome when I started enabling extensions by workspace, so I just use auto-update now. I appreciate the "what's new" notes, especially when I learn about new features. Edited for clarity

  The "What's New" tab only opens when I don't open Code into a project directory, usually it opens right into the last file I was working on. The extensions notifications I suppose could be an annoyance, but I seldomly encounter new file types, so it's a non-issue for me and I suspect most users.

  Sublime text has this too, except it's a popup. And Package Control, too, has a tab that pops open a few seconds after you've started writing. In my opinion they're not really a problem.

  Yeah, these are a turn off for me too.

  I used to find the "What’s new tab" tab useful because of the list of recent projects it has, but I've moved on to creating desktop shortcuts to project directories so that I can open them in one go. This also works with ssh-based projects. (`--folder-uri=`)

    Heads up that the list of recent projects can also be invoked with a keyboard shortcut or the command palette ("Open recent...").
