I think the corollary to this question pattern is always: "And if yes, who cares?" If the software in question is open source, the ones using it will still have enough access to it even if it were dying. The ones not using it don't want it anyway and chose one of the many other options.

One of my managers used to say that the only reason people write software is because there isn't already an emacs or Excel macro to do what they need.

More diversity amongst editors is important. Given Microsoft’s track record of EEE, one wonders what they can do with vscode. Maybe one day it will only support GitHub, maybe code sharing gets picked up and is only available on vscode, forcing you to use it because everyone else.

It’s never a good thing that Microsoft has majority market share.
