Using the C# debugger is also restricted to Visual Studio & VScode. Microsoft loves open source, and windows is the most open operating system (look it up).

It’s totally not embrace, extend, extinguish in any disguise.

Coopetition exists (I’d point to the CNCF), but corporations do that really, really, begrudgingly only just due to the sheer complexity.

While I do not suspect that the somewhat benevolent notions will wane in the near future (the data is valuable enough, and you cannot afford to lose to another player), I sincerely enjoy just opting out because I like doing that.

So, europe trying to switch away from windows is not a problem ?

Except, for example, VSCodium does not use vsdbg. It uses open-source NetCoreDbg maintained by Samsung and the fork of the extension, which itself is distributed under MIT and not subject to what article discusses.

But, you know, spreading FUD about .NET is way more important, is it not?

So what is supposed to be FUD about the usage restrictions for the kinda defunct csharp extension since MS took over omnisharp and the debugger being locked?

Those are facts, why call it FUD?
