I agree. Particularly with the first point. One of VSCode's big strengths is it runs on the web as well - it's easy to see it becoming a fully integrated cloud IDE (whether you run it in Electron or your browser), and then MS can sell VSCode Premium for $2/mo to integrate it with your corporate login etc.

It’s incredible how it runs on the web. CodeSandbox is an awesome tool because it’s the same thing you use on your desktop (if you use VSCode). Just the other day I saw some post here wondering why you can’t “code in the browser” and uh, you can! Just go to CodeSandbox.

I suspect MS will be selling VSCode premium, as I mentioned elsewhere on this thread, they are already maintaining closed components.
