Personally, I think it's all thanks to Oracle. When Microsoft suddenly realised that they were no longer the most hated IT company in the world, the shock was too much for them, and they just stopped trying any more.

Seriously, I have, right now, just dropped out of Vim into VSCode to debug a C program, because the VSCode debugger is fantastic. Everything just... works. In fact, I'd drop Vim in a heartbeat in favour of VSCode if only the vim keybindings were better, but right now they're pretty terrible and my fingers get confused. (Mercurial integration would be nice too, but mostly I use hg from the command line so I don't mind.)

I like the new Microsoft.
