OK, now I'm really glad that Visual Studio Code was one of those "eh, pass" things for me (like GNOME) and I stuck it out with Emacs all this time.

Microsoft's play appears to be soup-to-nuts control over every aspect of web developers' work -- from finding a job (linkedin) to source control (github) to libraries and dependency management (npm). Visual Studio Code fits neatly within this play. Windows may have lost web devs' hearts and minds in the 2000s-2010s, but Microsoft has pivoted to where they don't need Windows in order to capture the developers.

Wait till Pluton takes hold in a few years, and you need a Microsoft account just to get to the bootloader.

You think? I've always wondered why they bought those things.

I really really hate LinkedIn by the way. But it was like that before the takeover. Nothing really changed for better or for worse.
