I used and loved Atom for years. I was always nervous of using Microsoft software. I noticed that more and more respected developers were talking about using VS Code.

Then Microsoft bought GitHub. I decided that I might as well give VS Code a try. Now I really like it. It's not that much different to Atom IMHO but it's a good tool. I noticed that a lot of features that I liked in Atom have made their way into VS Code. Things like collaborative remote working for example.

I'm a little more than disturbed that Microsoft bought Github, and shortly after Atom started pestering me to try VSCode. Actually I'm annoyed. It smacks of "embrace, extend, extinguish." It triggers my PTSD whought from decades of shabby Microsoft software not doing the right thing and stealing my time as a result. No thanks.
