One side is open-sourcing .NET and VS Code and running GitHub well and making vcpkg. The other is crapping up Windows with embarrassing ad-ridden F2P games. It's really weird.

One side preserving backwards compatibility through the past 30 years, the other replacing the taskbar and losing half the features.

>open-sourcing .NET and VS Code

They didn't open-source the debugger so that you have to use VS or VSC. VS Code also has shittons of telemtry (same for dotnet LCI) and when you use Codium you are (officially) not allowed to use their marketplace.

>running GitHub well

GitHub is down nearly every week and constantly has problems. I appreciate them making certain features free though.
