Many plugins can't be completely removed but you can disabled them, was wrong with that?
I disabled this one and it hasn't nag me.

Here we have 2xshitty behaviors, we can see around this product. Who is to say there isn't more we can't see.
Removing it seems 100% reasonable, if only for security purposes.
If you upgrade from a older version, it open your previous project with the plugin enabled without asking.
The only issue here is that it's being automatically enabled after it is disabled, which I assume is just a simple bug and not at all the big deal this is being made out to be.
I'm glad your firm lets you send code anywhere. Mine does not.
Again, this is really more of a conversation for a support forum and not hn...
edit: I just updated and the plugin definitely does not just start sending data, you have to explicitly click 'start trial'.
If your model is "I don't trust this software" the plugin is irrelevant.
And uninstall uninstalls it. Except in this case when the plugin automatically reinstalls, according to TFA.
And we're talking about something that sends your code to their servers.
Malice, incompetence... still not good.
For the millionth time - not if you do not activate the plugin.
For the millionth time - uninstall was supposed to uninstall too :)
The policies of my company are clear on the issue. I can't use a tool I previously used safely... yep. I'll be changing IDEs. I may go back to neovim, emacs, or whatever.
