I won't say "you can take my VS Code from cold dead hands" or anything, but it is a very good tool, and Microsoft hasn't yet fucked it up the way they have so many other things.
I guess I'd say "you take my VS Code ... willingly ... but only after M$ fucks it up and makes me not want it anymore (like they've done to everything else they acquired)".

Not for lack of trying, the amount of CoPilot cruft bundled with the core IDE is growing quarterly.
Seriously. I think I saw they just added another “please use the agent chats here!” button.
Every updates release notes is like 90% “now with more copilot plz use it.”
Vs code is a weapon, designed to fracture. It being “good” is a weapon as well. https://ghuntley.com/fracture/
Did you try intellij ever?
And are you a vscode original? or came from vim/emacs?
