MS releasing VS code led to Cursor reaping $60B in value.

What do you mean by $60b in value? Revenue? Valuation? Cursor’s most recent raise was at a post valuation of $29b.

Also, leadership at MSFT has talked quite a bit about their strategy with VS Code and it’s exactly what I was describing above (which is why I used it as an example). They give it away for free so that they can control the ecosystem.

SpaceX is buying it for $60B
