But why ? What is the point ? There is already Visual Studio(free community edition equivalent to Professional Edition), Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ. Why waste more time and effort to re-invent the wheel ? As OSS project, it will not be able to keep-up with changes to MSBuild and .NET

Citation: "Unfortunately, Microsoft prohibits non-Visual Studio products from installing any binaries downloaded from their marketplace". Etc...

If that were the case, then coc.nvim [0] wouldn't work quite the way it does. I run VSCode extensions in NeoVim all the time now.

Did I read/you write that correctly? "VSCode extensions in NeoVim"? (Going to be honest, haven't used either since I'm on "plain" vim right now)

CoC works just fine in Vim 8+. I just started using it recently, it is fantastic! Highly recommend.

IntelliJ is not entirely free, and VS Community Edition is not "equivalent" to the Professional Edition.

Intellij community is the open source IDE that has by far the most features. So even if you can pay for the premium version, I would argue that jetbrains is in it's own league.

Why not ? You have a problem with extra options that you don't have to use ?

But it's not really cause its using parts of vscode on the backend to even function, so it really seems like their just trying to make it seem like more than it is, which is their cloud-editor project.

> parts of vscode on the backend to even function

?

If you talk about extensions reuse, that hardly qualifies.

Wasted human resources and talents. Progress would be more prevalent if HRs were better allocated. But they are indeed free to work on whatever they like even if I will not benefit from their work, sadly.

[majkinetor]

Not wasted. Those people will learn a lot of new things, right ?

Should work optimization be primary goal in this universe ? I guess not, or you will have hard time defending existence of movies, board/PC games, all sports, all baletristic writing etc. That is not very interesting place to be.
