No way to sort by recency makes the new code search completely unusable.
Having to hover the file title to see the updated date is horrible.
For some searches, I want to see how developers are solving problems nowadays, not 10 years ago.
No more number of matching files per language.
Not possible to filter by multiple languages anymore.
Such a downgrade.

#152Surprised more people aren't talking about how Microsoft has a near monopoly on the developer ecosystem. They've got GitHub, OpenAI, and VS Code all working together and collecting data that strengthen each other's products while also using their embrace, extend, extinguish strategy with WSL and all of these steer people towards Azure services whenever possible. Seems like something that verges on an anti-trust situa…
How is WSL an example of EEE? Other than adding a few things like the ability to navigate the Windows filesystem from WSL, they have really done nothing in the way of extending or extinguishing.
If anything is classic EEE of what you listed it’s GitHub, given it’s basically a series of extensions on an open standard. Its Linux EEE program is Azure where Microsoft sells you a Linux server running in its datacenter in fancy ways that lock you in.
I feel Microsoft’s monopoly around development is not that strong and it’s not terribly hard to completely avoid them.

"monopoly on developer ecosystem" GitHub? fair OpenAI? how is this a part of dev. ecosystem? Vs Code? wtf? there's a lot of other IDEs/editors and many would argue that they are better >embrace, extend, extinguish strategy with WSL They are EEEing their product - Windows?
I mean google uses VSCode internally as their officially supported IDE… i’d say they’re doing pretty well.
No it's based on theia

It commands more than double the percentage of the next most used… and the second place is Visual Studio. https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#most-popular-technolog...
Those numbers are a bit misleading because they split up the JetBrains products, making JetBrains look like a smaller market than it actually is. If you add up all their tools, they hit 94% to VS Code's 74%. Obviously there are a lot of people using multiple JetBrains tools and that bloats that number, but the huge difference demonstrates how flawed SO's numbers are for gauging market share.

Also, I suspect that most people who mark a JetBrains IDE also mark a secondary editor that's lighter weight, but it's hard to tell how that all breaks down with the way they present the data. I spend about 90% of my work day in WebStorm and occasionally move over to VSCode for loading a large directory that I don't want to index. When I filled out the survey, due to they way they worded it, I marked both tools.
