    Oh just a minute, you mean the product that Microsoft gave you (as they crushed as much open source competition as they could) wasn’t really free?!

          Any details?

          Just saying the catch phrase “Embrace, extend, extinguish” doesn’t give any context or information whatsoever.

              Oh, I didn’t know they mentioned vscode specifically.

              In that case I’m sorry for disturbing.

          And good thing too, for from the ashes of Atom rose Zed – and in case you haven’t checked it out yet, it’s awesome. Think VS code but 10000x faster.

              I wouldn’t say they’re pushing it. They’re adding AI features that, like it or not, are proving to be handy additions to a developer’s toolkit. But it’s not their core USP, and you can ignore it if you don’t care about it. In terms of speed I’ve found only Helix to match it.

              Zed’s ‘live collaboration’ features, by contrast – yeah, no clue who the target user is there, since I grant everyone on my team to use whatever tools they feel most productive with.

          Yes but without VSCode wouldnt Atom be like vscode: having many unfree extensions?
