Maybe it’s just my preference, but I like having a small setup where I know what is installed and what is running. With VSCode, browser IDEs, extensions, sync, tokens, and random plugins, it gets hard to tell what actually has access to what.

#45I don’t really understand why more devs don’t try Neovim. Maybe it’s just my preference, but I like having a small setup where I know what is installed and what is running.

#47Kudos for the public disclosure. Too many people haven't been happy with MSRC and it's starting to boil over (see the Nightmare Eclipse situation, too).

#49> the last time I interacted with MSRC regarding reporting a VSCode bug, it was a horrible experience where they silently fixed the bug Classic MSRC. It has figured out that researchers will report for free regardless. Why change?
MSRC doesn’t fix bugs. I don’t know the specifics of this case, but I’ve managed bug bounty programs in the past through Bountysource and HackerOne. One thing that occasionally happens is that a report makes its way to the development team before the security team has fully assessed it, in this case MSRC. At that point, a developer may decide to quietly fix the issue. Sometimes that’s driven by a concern, rational or…
Aww man, if only they owned some sort of platform for tracking those, powered by some sort of program. Doesn't even have to be a smart problem, it can be, succintly, shortly, stupid. If only.
