To give you some context, I'm coding lots email templates for living and on daily basis we're dealing with Outlook 2016 bugs some of which are as old as IE5. Yes, Internet Explorer five. For example, if you have a TD less than 18px high, it will be push to be 18px high, unless there's font-size set. These kinds of bugs were squished on IE6. Hatred to Internet Explorer was one of the main reasons devs hated M$. Now, IE is gone, web devs live happy lives with React and us, email devs still code in tables and use VML hacks just to set background picture (ahem, of a table cell).

With the above context, I'd say M$ may be different now compared to before but it's changing only because it has to and only because they reap what they sow. Previous seeds grew.

Speaking about V$Code, there was so much hatred in GitHub when peeps asked maintainers to allow users to customise the blue status bar that I think I saw true "spirit" of that company. See for yourselves: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/1884 - some juicy posts have been deleted/edited since though

PS. I moved all my 80 Open Source libraries to BitBucket and haven't looked back since. I applaud all others that migrate out of GitHub.
