I wouldn't use M$ product. There is no guarantee that they either abandon it or start charging an arm and leg for use

It's open source under the Apache Licence. Worst case scenario, the community would fork it and take over, but I don't think doing so would be remotely in Microsoft's interests. I genuinely believe the Microsoft of today is a totally different company in its attitude to open source software than it was even 10 years ago.

They are not. They sold me VS knowing well it will be obsolete in couple of months time and won't refund or discount upgrade. Absolutely vile company.

It's been close to 2 decades since the "M$" moniker had any relevance. This is not 1997 and we are not in the "browser wars".
