Been wanting something like this for a while now to switch from vscode.

Considering not even terminals are safe from phoning home telemetry.

You guys are charging for this, how much telemetry is the app sending home?

Wish you guys all the luck.

You should try vscodium, it's vscode minus all the Microsoft bs

It's a shame vscodium isn't being talked about more.

However, would really love something native as I run so many windows of different projects at once in a regular day.

Telemetry can be very easily turned off. It would take less time for you to Google "how to turn off VSCode telemetry" and finish it than writing this comment. This is ridiculous.

That's assuming you know that your editor is collecting your data and sending it to someone else. And since VS Code is a Microsoft product, they'll probably turn the telemetry back on after an update, only allow you to disable a subset of data collection, or simply ignore your preferences and send it anyways.
