    What are you talking about? Vscode isn’t a google product just because it’s an electron app that uses chromium. Github is owned by MS so everything they do is by definition the responsibility of MS.

      Github was bought as is, Microsoft contribution since take over is minimal. Vs code is a complex web app on top of chromium, that is the bulk of what delivered in vscode package, and which is made by Google.

        Im not sure I agree with that statement.

        It’s like saying using a computer means that any program on it belongs to the makers of the operating system because you need that to run it. Or every Java program was made by oracle because you need the JVM to run it.

        VS Code is its own software (and service nowadays), and yes it builds on chromium in part. But doesn’t make the idea, the actual application, i. e. what’s on top of chromium or other associated service owned by someone else.

        I do agree that many software devs and companies rely on Chromium and thus Google, often too much, and I don’t think that’s a good idea But they definitely retain ownership of the code and associated functionality on top.

          Like shitting on java while praising eclipse
