The day Microsoft releases Rust support for Visual Studio, VSCode gets kicked out of my PC.

Also, I wonder how much the Electron love overlapps with VSCode, after all many of those developers were pushing for Atom before VSCode was born.

Not much, at least here. I was a Sublime Text user for years. I tried Atom but it was an ugly, janky mess. I switched to VScode quickly after its release because the features it provided over Sublime Text were worth it, and the performance was good enough, even though not on par with ST.

And me thinking that it was probably about those $80.

I expect things to go the other way. Visual Studio will eventually be phased out for VSCode or something like it.

I think Microsoft chose Chromium for Edge mostly because they have big plans for Electron.
