Just noticed this:
Because Microsoft does not allow third-party IDEs to access the official VS Code
Marketplace ...
Anyone know why?
My wild guess is it means MS doesn't want third parties to build their own VS Code based IDEs (like this one)?
- jmcphers 2y agoThere's some thoughtful speculation on this here: "Visual Studio Code is designed to fracture" - https://ghuntley.com/fracture/ https://ghuntley.com/fracture/
- lembcva 2y agoVery interesting, I hope the (formerly) RStudio people read this. So they are giving up an IDE (RStudio) that was famous for far better graphics and plotting than the Python alternatives for a half-open third party solution where Posit is the sharecropper. This Microsoft "DevDiv" (see the link) sounds like the classic EEE dressed up as "open", "hip" and with all the right buzzwords.
