It looks to me like they close nearly 30 PRs every day. That's kind of amazing.

I'm no fan of Microsoft but that's a massive maintenance burden. They must have multiple people working on this full time.

If you examine the merged PR's - the overwhelming majority are from Microsoft employees. Meanwhile, community contributions sit and rot.

I thought they just open sourced this? Was there enough time to start reviewing community contributions?

How would I be able to examine the PRs to verify this?

[msgodel]

There aren't that many Microsoft employees, it took me a couple minutes to memorize the team.

Of course the majority are from Microsoft, they do seem to merge in a fair amount of PRs from the community though.

Look at the first comment in the PR, it will have a badge "This user is a member of the Microsoft organization". Alternatively, look at the release notes on the website, any non-Microsoft contributions are listed at the bottom.

[esperent]

Right, but how to do that for thousands of PRs to see that there's a bias? I assume it's a ton of work.

[xyzzy123]

Why not sample 20 and see if you can spot a trend?

[esperent]

Because I studied statistics.

Yet the Settings UI is still a nonsensical mess.

[thiht]

How is it a nonsensical mess? It’s clean, searchable, allows to fallback to json..

I get it might not be perfect, but "nonsensical mess" is maybe in bad faith here.

[DidYaWipe]

Valid question. There's some area where the text of the setting's state is the opposite of what the checkbox shows. I'll try to dig up a screen shot.

Historically, setting syntax colors has sucked too, but I don't remember the current state of that.
