Microsoft Launches Visual Studio Code, a Free Cross-Platform Code Editor
Wow. I seriously don't know what to think anymore. What is their end game? Which platform are they hoping to become / remain dominant in?<p>Don't get me wrong---I'm as happy as the next guy about this. VS is the only tolerable language-dedicated IDE, if they take 25% of their VS engineering mantra to this it will be better than almost anything else.<p>But where does it end? I am clearly so not in touch with my inner mba. I just cannot even think of how what they are planning in the long run, here.<p>What's going on? Have they lost their minds? Is there a secret master plan? How realistic could that be? Is this the red giant to their eventual white dwarf?<p>Just... what?!
