This has genuinely made me work on switching to neovim. I previously demurred because I don't trust supply chains that are random public git repos full of emojis and Discords, but we've reached the point now where they're no less trustworthy than Microsoft. (And realistically, if you use any extensions on VS Code you're already trusting random repos, so you might as well cut out the middle man with an AI + spyware addiction and difficulties understanding consent.)

Same. Actually made me switch to neovim more and more. It's a great time to do so, with the new native package manager (now working in nightly 0.12)
There is an actively maintained VSCode fork without all the Microsoft features. https://vscodium.com/
