That's unfortunate. Sometimes I wonder if Microsoft does stuff like this on purpose. A simple google search would should who is using what name.

Even they immigrated at one point.

This whole article is an example of astroturfing. Why don't you guys ban this shit?

It's hardly imaginary, you silly silly person.

Although astroturfing doesn't seem to be a problem on HN, I'd really appreciate it if you didn't do it.

This is just more of their embrace, extend, extinguish campaign. This is the extend part.

And full of down votes for the negative comments. This website is very pro successful business, not pro tech.

If that's true, then I'd recommend not using either .NET or VSCode if cross platform matters to you. Historically speaking, Microsoft will break compatibility when it suits them.

I used VSCode once and in just ten minutes, I helped a repressive megacorp meet their HN marketing goals, instead of supporting developers who might actually need it.

So link to those articles. This article is legitimately just hero worship.

We can learn a lot from a cross section of our entire population. From one man, we can learn about rich person worship and life lotteries.

They only have to provide this because they lock down their products. They do it to themselves.

Seriously? Linux and BSD, for example, give you complete control over all the information harvested from you.

I use it as my primary gaming platform. So now you know one.

It's not like the other unintuitive program he learned before and therefore it's bad.

You didn't finish your post. You left off the part about how you read the manual and then you were fine.

What I'd really like is something that uses stylometry to track astroturfer comments, shills, fake news authors, advertisements parading as news, and PR campaigns, etc. Then just h…

People associate cost with value.

They're using their billions to buy advertisements like this 'article'.

This isn't journalism, it's an advertisement.

How much does it cost to buy an article in WSJ?

It's not for all though. The Xaramin homepage doesn't even mention Linux. This is Xaramin for Some.

Given Microsoft's history, assuming poor support for non-Windows is the rule, not the exception. When there's cross platform feature parity for all their tools, then I'll reevaluat…

We will probably keep our distance from it since it's now part of Microsoft because I expect it won't be supported as well on anything other than Windows.
