I’m actually kind of surprised it took Microsoft this long to push back against the VSCode clones. While I don’t agree with the step they took, it does seem like one of the more mild things they could’ve done.
- RyanHamilton 2y agoYou always begin mild. Ratchet up slowly. Then when someone complains roll back a little or plead ignorance. Keep repeating until complainers leave to go elsewhere. Keep the majority of users. Repeat until "done".
- animuchan 2y agoIt's funny how our standards for MS are like "their latest user-hostile move was malicious to a very reasonable degree, so it's all good."
- diggan 2y ago> I’m actually kind of surprised it took Microsoft this long to push back against the VSCode clones Why would Microsoft push back against VS Code forks? I thought "Microsoft <3 Open Source", is that no longer true now when people forgot about the old Microsoft?
- worble 2y agoMicrosoft: We love open source! Microsoft: No wait, not like that!
- welder 2y agoThe clones never used Microsoft's marketplace, most comments here are misinformed or falsely assuming malicious intent. Classic HN
- joshstrange 2y agoThey don't use the marketplace directly but people do download and manually put them into place in the clones. This seems like a clear swipe at that behavior.
