There are just certain technologies my brain says "fuck, no" to. GNOME. The Great Banality Laser (whose official name was once Twitter). Visual Studio Code.

The fullness of time usually proves my brain's initial impressions right, as it seems to be doing now with Visual Studio Code.

I can still remember the monthly paroxysm of bliss that radiated throughout Hackernews, regular as clockwork, timed with Microsoft's monthly VS Code drops. Glad to see it enter its trough of disillusionment, at least on Hackernews.

I was with you on the first two. VS Code is the best developer experience I had since Delphi and Kate.

I don't care for it being in the news though.

Back in the day I looked at a GNOME 1.0 binary and saw it had like 60 library dependencies.

Given the utter malarkey that's transpired since with GNOME, including the crappy UI revamps, the slowness (in the Windows 7 days, it was literally better just to use Windows on aging hardware), and the arrogant devs reinventing Windows 8 poorly and not listening to what users actually want, nor allowing users to make changes, I've been VERY happy keeping my environment GNOME-free.
