I guess Copilot functionality trumps "Security above all else" now.

    Yeah, the vscode release notes used to be lists of interesting new things and novel improvements.

    Now they are all “copilot” “features”.

      TBH, no criticism on the developers, but the VS Code release notes haven't been interesting or relevant to how I used the editor for years. I think I checked out when they added a terminal client to it and it dominated the release notes for ages.

      AI features is one of the bigger innovations in editors in years, I fully understand the enthusiasm, especially given it can be linked to an earnings model. That said, before AI stuff I would've expected them to push integration with Github and Azure more.
