I don't like the way it is handled. Imagine Excel actively prompting you with a pop up every time you open a sheet: "Do you trust the authors of this file? If not you will loose out on cool features and the sheet runs in restricted mode"

No it doesn't because restricted mode without Macros is the default and not framed like something bad or loosing out on all of those nice features,

I think Excel does do something similar though with Protected View. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-is-protected...

		Exactly that's why I was making the comparison, It's not a in your face PopUp, where users get used to just pressing the blue, highlighted and glowing "I trust the authors" button without even being told what features they'd miss out on. The Protected view in Office instead tells you "Be careful" and to only activate editing when you need to.

The point of an IDE is that it does stuff a simple text editor does not.

		Sure, but as noted elsewhere, the IDEs generally don't "do stuff" by default just on opening a file folder. VSCode, by default, will run some programs as soon as you open a folder.
