Default VS code on Linux

Hey peeps. Any opinions on using microsofts VScode ide on linux.
Does it defeat the purpose of opensource and give MS OpenSource undeserved credibility?

In before, "sorry you dont got X" comments don't count. Honest, open discourse only.
Look forward to sensible comments.

Worth it. One of the best IDEs around at the moment.

Have it set-up on a CentOS VM, wasn't difficult, works like a charm.

Will you teach me Python? I'm an idiot. I'm tryna make a MUD for my friends cuz we'll probably never play DND in real life..or the thousands of hypothetical dollars in board games I have molding in the garage.. I literally have to ask chat AI how to uninstall Evennia (pip uninstall evennia btw) then look up how to make a virtual environment on windows cuz the tutorial said it's best. I don't even know what that means looking for a gif but I gave up

Same, except on Linux Mint.

If you are serious, take a class. I learned to program on my own, but it took years. Now I mentor for an online boot camp, and my students learn everything in like six months.

I am aware that vs code is a fine platform.

Was more after opinions on whether it is ethical (from a pure opensource perspective) to use an application from what is otherwise a predatory proprietary company that is known to embrace, extoll and then extend (with proprietary extentions) to then lock out those that dont use their product.
It's what they do and have done before.
Having said that, anyone heard anything to the contrary recently?

When I'm in a GUI environment, Visual Studio Code is my primary editor. From my non-scientific observation, I've seen less of embrace / extinguish stuff since the departure of Ballmer.

One of the reasons why I use VS Code is show Microsoft that "yes, open source projects are worth the investment of money and development hours" -- however little of a voice I have as a single user. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well that sounds positive, imma dive in and try it while I do some further research.
A single user can be the difference. There is lots of us. Bloody communists...

---- Edit bit for those interested----
Some initial reading has revealed something interesting.
From https://vscodium.com/
Regarding the git repository containing the VS Code source.
Quote:
When we [Microsoft] build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and then produce a build that we release under our license.

When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. Therefore, you generate a “clean” build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license
VS Codium builds a ready to use binary for those disinclined to do so.

I've used VSCodium as well. I chose a while back to go back to VS Code itself for the reasons above to be a vote for supporting open source to Microsoft.

I bet I could get this idiot to make the whole "game" if I keep shoo-ing him away with questions. Besides.. this forum and wiki is getting to be about as boring as the game after the forum and wiki came along..
