It's better, but still quite deep vendor lock-in (in both GitHub and VSCode).

Well my employer chooses to use GitHub so I don’t have a choice there. And it’s vendor lock-in VSCode but that’s already my primary editor so it means there’s no need to learn another tool just for code review.

JetBrains IDEs can do the same.

  • Unfortunately it’s not feature complete - you can’t paste images in review comments, for example. Still very useful for large PRs though.

GitHub may be dominant, but it's not like it doesn't have competitors nipping at its heels (GitLab, BitBucket come to mind).

VSCode is open source, and there are plenty of IDEs...

I guess I'm just focused on different lock-in concerns than you are.
