Microsoft is also getting some love because they've been doing right by the open source community and haven't ruined Github yet, nor does it look like they're going to.

Also it's kind of hard to not like VS Code, even on linux.

MS's newer efforts like VS Code are certainly encouraging. This doesn't change the fundamental issue that much of the world relies on desktop software that only runs on Windows and an office suite that's only compatible with MS Office. These may not seem like much to the HN crowd, but we aren't representative of the economy at large.
