The issue is with social features you might be forced to use it, like Slack instead of Email. I've already had cases where I've been forced to use VSCode to collaborate at work.

I personally worry it's not interoperable enough.

...doesn't mean the majority is right :)

It's a personal tool. You're not wrong. Anybody isn't wrong either.
...doesn't mean there is a right or wrong either :)
...but it does mean there is a corporate controlled program that can back stab you at any moment!

Uh no? You have to pull in the change and recompile
Same with corporate open source
