Some of these fairly unknown systems that are "terrible" enterprisey make many billions of dollars in sales, VS Code makes nothing directly as it's free (MS gets good PR for publishing it, but it's extremely hard to put a number on how much it's worth for them). Implying that just because MS makes VSC and it makes 143 billion in revenue, it must be much better/nicer than EHR/ systems made by somewhat smaller companies (still, some pretty huge ones make shitty software, like SAP with over 50-billion income) whose whole income come from such system sales is quite irrational of your part.

The user is me, and you put a layer in between me and the mathematics that I need to verify when you prise the Fortran source from my cold dead hands :-).

I would hope the users of a system designed to predict the weather are actual meteorologists.
