- iLemming 2y agoYeah well, MSFT - the behemoth among evilish corporations, invests vast sums into developing a sophisticated tool with extensive features - more than their combined philanthropic initiatives - and offers it freely to just about anyone. This generosity doesn't seem questionable at all, eh? I mean, when I use Vim and Emacs, the benefits clearly flow to users and the developer community. Back when I paid for the IntelliJ license - I knew exactly how their revenue model worked. Yet whenever I download and use VSCode, I don't really know what's Microsoft's grand plan here, does anyone else do?
