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.
@JimmyKip @lightweight There's Eclipse
@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 I just find it like nails on a chalkboard for anything that uses a desktop GUI.
