where's the embrace step? vscode is their own product in the first place.
- solardev 2y agoSo was IE, back in the day, when they first "embraced" the web. Today's "embrace" is of the web dev ecosystem, which before VSCode's dominance consisted of Jetbrains, other IDEs, text editors, etc. Now with VScode and Github, they control much of the dev ecosystem, shrink competitors' marketshares by making them free to end-users (subsidized by other Microsoft businesses), expand them with new capabilities (even before secret APIs), etc.

- sakesun 2y agoVSCode is embracing Eclipse team and Eclipse way of opensource IDE ecosystem.
- TiredOfLife 2y agoNo. It's Eclipse that took Microsoft made Monaco editor and built Theia on top of it.
- sakesun 2y agoMicrosoft hired ex-Eclipse team to build VSCode.
