Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode
I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

honestly, after atom died and vscode announced it would stop supporting mac, i knew i needed a change. i found i could replace 80% of it with tmux and vim plugins, and some bash tricks. so thats where i am now. it takes commitment for sure
When did vs code announce they would stop supporting Mac?
They are mistaken. Visual Studio for Mac is being retired next year, not vscode. Not the same program...
Good good good good. We just wrote a huge batch of quick start on boarding scripts to set up new devs with a good baseline vs code configuration
It's not. It's Visual Studio that will stop supporting Mac, not VSCode.
eli5, but isn't visual studio code a part of visual studio? or why is it not? or is this like a java/javascript thing where they are named similar because of popularity but have no codebase in common?
Those two are completely different products.
Visual Studio is a full IDE which include full microsoft SDK (C++, .net, etc), while VSCode is a text editor forked from Github's Atom text editor (which was the precursor of the Electron framework), with a javacript editor core called Monaco.
