Eh MS wasn’t going to just let VSCode derivatives soak up all the AI gold rush money, these companies knew the risks. I wonder what it’s going to mean for projects like Zig, a migration of VSCode refugees could crank things up to 11 pretty quick.

How do VSCode refugees impact a project like Zig?

I would bet they meant the editor “Zed”.

		I guess the point is that VSCode won because it collected critical mass (despite people practically chanting Microsoft’s “embrace, extend, extinguish” game plan). If a sort of exodus were to happen, perhaps that same critical mass would stoke the flames of mass plugin catch-up. I have no skin in the game, I’m just a guy in the internet back alley throwing down a couple bucks on a dice game.
