So does it have a NoScript plugin to kill the unavoidable 200 tracking and ad scripts from Google, Facebook and who knows what running in the background? I am sorry if I offend someone with this, however the current Web experience is something I want as far away from my dev. tools as possible.

While your concern might be valid in general, this is applicable to native software just as much.

tracking or ad scripts by facebook or google are in neither atom nor VSCode.

both projects are open source if you care to verify

you're being asked while installing f you're fine with anonymized usage information being send to MS for further development of the software.

its a simple checkpoint and pretty much every actively developing project does this nowadays.
