Why would this happen to VsCode? VSCode is a proprietary form of Atom is not? It’s hugely successful Microsoft would never do such a thing.

Sort of?

They maintain a trademark on the name Visual Studio Code and some other bits. And it is maintained by a Microsoft team.

But the code itself is MIT licensed. You can build it yourself. I have. There are one or two forks of it out there.

The codebases of VS Code and Atom are unrelated to each other.
