They are so big they can monetize it using Copilot or not even monetize it properly, just to get good faith from Developers, Developers, Developers. I like it.

No, the other option is something like Sublime Text that has a small team working on it and is paid for by a very fair one-off payment by the customer.

Sounds like a third option. I have a Sublime license and I like it.

But no need to discard VSCode.

They are different tools anyway.
