VSCode is based on Chromium. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/v...

VSCode is Electron based which, yes, is based on Chromium. But the page you link to isn't about that, its about using VSCode as dev environment for working on Chromium, so I don't know why you linked it in this context.

Which is based on Apple Webkit? The winner is always the last marketable brand.

Both are based on khtml. We could be living in a very different world if all that effort stayed inside the KDE ecosystem

Note that these are somewhat different kinds of "based on".

Chromium is an upstream dependency (by way of Electron) for VSCode.

WebKit was an upstream dependency of Chromium, but is no more since the Blink/WebKit hard fork.

that's a bit misleading. it was based on webcore which apple had forked from khtml. however google found apple's addition to be a drag and i think very little of it (if anything at all, besides the khtml foundation) survived "the great cleanup" and rewrite that became blink. so actually webkit was a just transitional phase that led to a dead end and it is more accurate to say that blink is based on khtml.

It's "based on WebKit" like English is based on Germanic languages.

That drives exactly $0 of Apple's revenue. It's only a win if you care about things that don't matter.
