This post on and is pretty harrowing. I have adopted VSCode after bouncing around a number of others editors / IDEs. I see how this is going to haunt me in the future. Boo. Yet another thing to have to worry about in my tech world.

Well, s***, not even is free of telemetry? Wonderful. What do I use now?

requires a user script just to enable Analyzer. You've got to be kidding me.

was designed for the limitations of a terminal from 1976. Its key bindings and behavior make zero sense on a modern keyboard, mouse, and graphical display. No, thank you.

Everything else seems to want to emulate Vim, including all that's wrong with it.

Not looking good…

@argv_minus_one Maybe give Theia a look? It's the Eclipse foundation version of VSCode (MIT). They seem to have the right idea:

"New VS Code API features include the Telemetry API, although for privacy reasons Theia of course does not send the data anywhere by default."

@teleclimber @argv_minus_one Claiming that “of course” telemetry is disabled on a website with telemetry trackers installed. The irony.
