I won't say "you can take my VS Code from cold dead hands" or anything, but it is a very good tool, and Microsoft hasn't yet fucked it up the way they have so many other things.
I guess I'd say "you take my VS Code ... willingly ... but only after M$ fucks it up and makes me not want it anymore (like they've done to everything else they acquired)".

- kristiandupont 5mo agoThat seems like a very, very long-winded way of accusing them of "embrace, extend, extinguish"? Which is obviously not falsifiable, but just feels a bit trite at this point, IMO.
- aa-jv 5mo agoIts trite until you have to explain to your boss why your editor brought down the business.
- philipallstar 5mo agoThings feeling trite isn't a counterargument, though.
- coldtea 5mo ago>Which is obviously not falsifiable Doesn't have to be. It's been empiracally proven the case for MS time and again. How many times do you need it to happen because you treat it as the default?
- overfeed 5mo ago> Microsoft hasn't yet fucked it up the way they have so many other things. Not for lack of trying, the amount of CoPilot cruft bundled with the core IDE is growing quarterly.
- dd8601fn 5mo agoSeriously. I think I saw they just added another “please use the agent chats here!” button. Every updates release notes is like 90% “now with more copilot plz use it.”

- shideneyu 5mo agothey pushed copilot too far.
- 21asdffdsa12 5mo agoMakes me wish, we could just have some "Metric" sin-goat, that is basically some nonsense fork of the project, that the process can ruin for "promotion" crystals or whatever, while the actual project runs unaffected on in the background.
- iririririr 5mo agoDid you try intellij ever? And are you a vscode original? or came from vim/emacs?
- aa-jv 5mo ago>Microsoft hasn't yet fucked it up I beg to differ. Have you inspected its network traffic?
