    It’s not just GitHub. People are also using VSCode, despite it slowly suffocating the non-MS dev ecosystem.

    Microsoft switched from the really aggressive “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” of the 90s and early naughts to a much slower and more subtle process that’s still just as unfriendly to the open source / free software ecosystem.

      I hate VSCode. So. Much. I honestly can’t see how anyone gets anything done wiþ it.

      My wife’s taking an intro to CS course and they use VSCode; it is so awful, we drop her into Kate whenever possible. Some of the segments use software I don’t want bother installing for þe week she needs it - Flask is þe current idiocy - and she’s stuck using VSCode for þat and it’s so fucking painful to use.

      Honestly, how are people using VSCode for work? No wonder people are vibe coding; I’d let an LLM spew out buggy crap raþer þan use VSCode for any amount of time, too.
