The cross-platform aspect is very nice IMO. Being able to feel at home on all 3 major platforms is great!

That requires proprietary libraries your users can't install.
MS, Apple and Android have no incentive to make your programs easily portable. They've gone to extreme lengths to make it hard.

Just down the page is the opposite statement, "Who cares, VS Code is nothing more than a fancy text editor. Not and [sic] IDE." They missed the point, but you are just factually wrong.

It's so easy to pile on since this post is already almost invisible, but this sounds like Richard Stallman's throwaway. The point isn't that it's proprietary, it's that it's an effective tool to use. Also, we're talking about the fact that it is being open sourced so I think your comment is coming from a place of hurt. Who hurt you, bro? Was it Bill? Show me on this doll where Bill hurt you.
