A company simply starts enforcing the terms of use that were being openly violated… what’s the issue here? The article claims it could stifle competition — HUh?! Cursor and others were relying on an extension created by Microsoft, now that they can’t do that, they will have to use an extension created by either themselves or another third party, increasing the use of that alternate extension. This will literally help competition. There was no competition beforehand, ppl just accepted the Microsoft extension with open arms. I really don’t know why everybody’s freaking out. You can always use a different editor, or make your own extension.


A summary:

> Embrace

Yay, MS loves open source!

> Extend

Wow, VS Code is so useful!

> Extinguish
