In my opinion, there's simply no replacement for their IDEs.

Also, are you sure you want to politicize your work at that level? If yes, then you also shouldn't be using AWS, Azure, or Google cloud, as all of them do business with countries you won't like and with weapons companies. Did you know some nuclear submarines run on Windows XP? Bye, Microsoft. Btw, they also pay taxes in Russia. https://officesnapshots.com/2018/09/04/microsoft-offices-mos...

I guess your only remaining choice will be to go all in on open source.

This is not about “countries we don’t like” or petty political or ideological squabbles but rather a very real, current situation.

Whether or not to continue to support a company that arguably pays significant taxes into the - only very slightly figurative - war chest of a country actively waging war right now, is a valid question.

Then, there’s the nasty aspect of Russian intelligence agencies figuring out (or having already done so) that with a widely used IDE product they have a valuable asset at their disposal.
