Why did Microsoft Build VSCode? Turns out, GitHub Copilot. (codeium.com)

Microsoft is breaking its open and extension-friendly ethos with VSCode in order to cripple GitHub Copilot competitors with restricted APIs.

Yeah what the hell is this title.

Why did Microsoft make VSCode? Well who knows, you can theorycraft about EEE all you want, and some of that may be true. The hard fact though is that VS Code replaced Atom with the sheer power of being way fucking better in every way and frankly good riddance. I am extremely glad to have a tool as good as VS Code at my disposal nowadays, something we didn't have 5 years ago.
