Agreed. Since VSCode came out there has been one gigantic circle jerk over it. It's "always" been better than sublime and atom, even though sublime and atom had been out for much longer.

I've used a lot of text editors. VSCode really isn't miles ahead of the rest. As tech enthusiasts we all discuss new software regularly and we know none of us agree on one thing. According to stackoverflow, VSC is only used by 7.2% of users, yet people want to argue that "everyone just agrees it's a good editor". No, no they don't.

The MS employees aren't tricking anyone and it's really more of a turn off than anything. I'll just stick with Vim (there's a reason it's still popular after decades).

I see you've brought that old school paranoid about Microsoft with you over to HN. Vim on Windows is a hilarious idea, though.

Ironically the Vim VSCode plugin is one of the better ones I've used short of Vim(the macro playback needs a bit of work but the rest is top-shelf).

Easy solution. Don't use windows.
