> VSCode is pretty good, but not good enough to stop me migrating off the second a more viable editor arrived.

If you're interested, there is VSCodium (VCCode without the Microsoft/proprietary parts). There's also Theia, if you want to take things a step further away from Microsoft.

No clue if this is true for other companies, but I know a company that does big outsourcing project and most of them in C#/.NET and Angular. I've seen plenty of that code. My impression was/is that most of the C# code was extremely basic and mostly just tying together all ready-made libraries/features/frameworks/services (which Microsoft provides on their platforms/products) that actually made up the apps/services. C# itself just isn't all that much. Apart from maybe a gateway to guaranteed vendor lock-in. Maybe that is why they made sure to not mess that one up ;)
