On the other, every time I hear about Microsoft getting deeper into the open source community, it feels like a friend is telling me she's getting back with an abusive ex because he's changed. I know its a very large company with many faces each with their own pros and cons. I also know vscode is quite good, and if they pulled some classic Microsoft trickery it would be forked.
At this point It's just a gut reaction to all things Microsoft, I don't even remember why I don't like them anymore. Still, more and better software is a good thing. More people learning is a good thing. I don't know, I just think some of the overly negative comments are being bashed more than they deserve, because they were being emotional and not acknowledging it.
