Do you know of an alternative to VSCode that has no bugs? That would be amazing!
I don't know of any software that has no bugs.
Edit: typo
Oh so... there actually aren't "so many other good tools out there that don't pull this kind of shit [have bugs]"...
So the issue you have is with the wording, not the sentiment ?
Then let's get those words in a form you'll understand.
"so many other good tools out there that don’t actively and routinely introduce "features" and "options" that increase the potential surface area for attacks and bugs, often to introduce anti-consumer functionality to the detriment of user experience."
To avoid confusion, i'm talking about Microsoft as a whole, their ecosystem in general and the list of easily findable examples of them doing sketchy shit to push ads, data collection and other anti-consumer nonsense.
