@trexplex What are you using instead?

I've got full suite of JetBrains, but I think it's crap. I'm basically squatting the discount in-case I need to debug someone else that I work with setup

Used sublime and atom and netbeans in the past, as well as various eclipse IDE's, some Borland and (early career) lots of Visual Studio (full-fat)

Everything seems to suck. At least Code is (cost) free.

@trexplex i honestly don't get the problem. The people putting in the money to develop the tool manage to decide how the non open part work. That seems... Legit and normal? Open Source is a gift, not a due.

Like what else would we want to happen? It works. The codebase is open. The lsp is open.

The marketplace and default are not but that is... Normal? Like what is wrong here!

@trexplex I guess the best way to divest from the vscode ecosystem is to move towards Jetbrains, Kotlin, Rust, Swift.

@alper Rider is 200 euro a year (without extra features). Paid pros can use that - but to move a wider audience away from MS that won't do it.

@trexplex this is the Microsoft playbook in a nutshell. They've done this since the time of ms dos, and every time people think it's different.
