I'm curious about how the editor itself was built. Is it itself written with cross-platform .NET? And if so, what UI library? Edit: Got my answer. Electron and TypeScript: https://twitter.com/shanselman/status/593454574297427968
Earlier quoted context omitted.
When most companies say free they mean free of charge, if they want to say open source they say open source, because that’s the term the world understands. Basically only the FSF uses free to mean Free Software.
Open source doesn't imply free (or libre, if you prefer)

Uninstalling Sublime Text 3...
I'm not sure if you saw, but you can keep it and do the same things as well in the future. "Microsoft says the language services it built for Visual Studio Code will be available in other editors as well, including Sublime Text, Vi and Atom."
Don't get me wrong---I'm as happy as the next guy about this. VS is the only tolerable language-dedicated IDE, if they take 25% of their VS engineering mantra to this it will be better than almost anything else.
But where does it end? I am clearly so not in touch with my inner mba. I just cannot even think of how what they are planning in the long run, here.
What's going on? Have they lost their minds? Is there a secret master plan? How realistic could that be? Is this the red giant to their eventual white dwarf?
Just... what?!
Uninstalling Sublime Text 3...
This was posted 10 minutes ago and you commented 5 minutes ago. Given I tried to download it and it failed with some weird error message on their site (not to mention registration walls suck) the logical conclusion is that you are not serious about your comment. That then begs the question why you would post such a comment. Looking at your submission history, one could easily assume you work for Microsoft. If that is…
My first thought at seeing this announcement was also that I would be uninstalling Sublime on my Mac. I'm not a Microsoft employee. And give MS time, they just announced it, available "later today". No need to assume a lack of brains.
tldr; light weight Visual Studio for OSX/Windows/Linux with support for dozens of languages, intellisense (autocomplete), refactoring, debugging (yes, real debugging), git integration and it is free
