Vim does not spy on you and does not lag when pressing buttons. Why use inferior Microsoft products?

You appear to be 5-10 years out of date. Typescript, VSCode, Lean, are all "microsoft products", and if you think they are inferior you'd have to explain that view to a lot of well-informed people. Even LSP -- the basis of sanity in modern text editing -- originates and is stewarded by Microsoft.

Edit: Microsoft also funds some of the work on the Haskell compiler as I understand it. On the other hand I unfortunately now have to use crap like Outlook and Office 365 at work, so it's not like I don't understand the dismissive "inferior microsoft products" but we really can't say that any longer when talking about development environment tooling (which is what TFA is about) and programming languages.
