It's hard to find anyone who'd say they overall like Microsoft as a company. VS Code is one of the very few things Microsoft has made that people actually like.
I recall reading a comment here recently that they've actually create an entirely new generation of children who hate them by recent changes to Minecraft. Supposedly they forced everyone to migrate their accounts to Microsoft accounts, and in the process wiped a bunch of save files.
Microsoft happens to every generation at some point!
I will not be switching to VsCode just on principal. Yes, I'm still using Github, so I guess I'm a walking contradiction.
I also understand the economics of this situation why keep Vscode and atom IDE can't co exist, i'm surprised it took so long.
This is the second software application that Microsoft has ruined, remember the incredibly awesome wunderlist?
