I admit, I didn't think about it under that angle.
But I do wonder how much VS Code being "kinda open source" mattered. I may be in an MS-centric bubble, but most people I interact with couldn't care less about that. They're using closed-source software all over. Their main reasons for switching to VS Code seem to be the free-as-in-beer part, and that it's more practical than the OG VisualStudio. They're 99% Windows devs.

- atomicnumber3 3y agoMark me down as someone using vscode because it has vscodium. Prior to vscode, I was using Geany for anything that wasn't Java (IntelliJ CE there, and prior to that, netbeans).
