If you're angry about this then what are you going to do about it?

Turn it off and rage on social media. If it gets bad enough, look into Zed. Their tagline is literally "your last next editor".

  Zed currently does not have a revenue stream. Ot's only a matter of time before the same shenanigans ensue.

    They're a commercial entity that sells AI plans and enterprise features.

      Honestly not sure how viable that is long term with the way the pricing kinda needs to go. I think the recent copilot price increase is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Like how GNU Emacs is completely saturated with AI now? (That's sarcasm, in case anyone wants to pretend I'm being serious.)

      Emacs is not VC-backed.

  Unfortunately, Zed is years behind VSCode in terms of polish, Microsoft supported LSPs just work better in VSCode, they are better integrated, and Zed can't do anything about LSPs memory or peformance.

    > Zed is years behind VSCode in terms of polish One could think that. But VSCode is the one that occasionally failed to simply render text. No idea what happened these handful of times, but the UI was just completely screwed up, as if it were one of these "scratch to reveal" games, but with the file’s content (and unresponsive, obviously).

    I'm rooting for Zed but it does feel quite underbaked still right now.

    I tried VSCode some years ago (immediately moved to Codium) and yes, it is extremely well-done for what it is. But Zed is good enough for me. Everything I care about for Python, TS/JS/CSS and C programming is available. I do not even miss the JetBrains tooling for these.

  Zed is a nonstarter for me as long as they install additional software (third party runtimes to run LSPs) without asking my permission. That isn't acceptable behavior.

Moved to Zed and recommended my team do the same.

Make sure to delete VSCode fully from any PC I have access to and annoy all my coworkers to get rid of it.

I would think that the thing to do about it (if you want to use VS Code at all; some people (such as myself) don't), should be to send a patch to prevent adding the Co-authored-by line if Copilot is disabled, so that it will only add that line if the Copilot is enabled.
