An interesting read for folks in the #FOSS world who use (or are considering) Microsoft VSCode. https://ghuntley.com/fracture/ Note that VSCode is *neither* FOSS nor #OSS. It's proprietary (although MSFT is happy to let you think it is OSS). There's no shortage of good reasons to shun Microsoft and their products. Here's another one.
@lightweight Out of curiosity - what FOSS IDEs are folks using? VSCode dominates most dev at my workplace.
@lightweight @lwriemen ditto; you've just reminded me why I ditched Eclipse after trying it briefly :)
@JimmyKip Interesting...you avoid Java but use Microsoft tools... ??? @lightweight
@lwriemen @lightweight Yes, I avoid java where possible, but I work at a corp that uses Windows & 365 so its unavoidable. At home I have a Windows PC for gaming which is the majority of what I do on computer that's not work. Its what's playing music for me at the moment.
@lightweight @JimmyKip I've never really understood the aversion to (Open) Java. It was one of the bastions against the Microsoft monopoly, and a decent language. (Outperforms Python in a lot of throughput tests.)
I prefer C, and especially Shlaer-Mellor analysis models compiled to C, but Java is my favorite popular OOPL.
@lightweight @lwriemen my aversion is pure ignorance & fear.
@lwriemen @JimmyKip heh heh. I'm allergic to Java-based end-user apps. I don't think I'm alone.
