The million dollar question: Will Microsoft's developer tools draw in more business? (In my mind, the play is, if Microsoft is more friendly to developers, and developers sometimes hold the keys to what vendors to work with, new business could come in).

For example: I use VSCode, but I'm not sure I'd pay for Azure. In prior threads on HN, I recall reading some displeasure without service outages and availability issues.

Unless Microsoft had some other motive for caring about developer tools after a long period of not doing so. Regardless, their contributions to the open source community are welcome.
