    VS Codium exists which takes everything Microsoft out of open source VS Code. But anyway, fuck Google and MS.

      Correct. But vscode is nowhere near as dominant in the coding space as chromium is in browsers. Call me when ms makes windows open source.

        VS Code is arguably similarly dominant. By Stack Overflow survey, it’s around 75% of the IDE market (source https://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2023/06/28/so-2023.aspx) while Chrome seems around 65%. It’s a bit apples to oranges because the IDE survey lets you select multiple items, but it’s a very widely used tool. Google and Microsoft both have a lot of closed source crap, and they both copy everything you do to the NSA.
