Extensibility, constantly supported and improved upon by Microsoft.

Ironically I love most people are using the same tools, rather we all be on VSCode rather than everyone on a project using whatever. Preferably with some key extensions being shared.

There is an argument for creating a platform that we can all do well on -- kind of like the argument for standard gauge for railroads.

That being said, I'm still not a huge fan of one company controlling the environment we all do development in!

Definitely, understand your point and I can't really refute its merits... I just love the product and it's potential.

Well, there is VSCode OS just like Google Chrome has Chromium.
