| Has Microsoft built anything in the last decade that isn’t of questionable quality/user experience? |

| There's no question to the quality of Copilot. |

| ▲ | PUSH_AX 5 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I was under the impression GitHub built and maintained that, but perhaps that’s changed… If not I wouldn’t consider it a Microsoft built product like windows etc (yes I’m aware ms owns gh) | | | |
| ▲ | margalabargala 5 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I'm sure there are some people out there somewhere who haven't tried it and so still think it could be good. | |
| ▲ | fuzzy2 5 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Is there? And which Copilot is that? Github? Office 365? Windows? Yet another? | | |

| most people like vs code and lots of companies have built on top of it so there must be some quality there that people like. |

| ▲ | cjbgkagh 5 days ago | parent | next [-] | | But it didn’t win by default, it beat out the other alternatives, sublime and a GitHub editor (prior to acquisition). VS Code (Monaco at the time) was developed by a small team largely in secret to keep it safe from other MS departments so it’s really not like other MS software. It has been safe from meddling for a while there is a chance it’ll be a victim of its own success. | |
