I used to think GitHub Codespaces would help popularise Gitpod but now realize it is the other way around. Gitpod is currently permitted to exist in the Visual Studio Code ecosystem to popularise GitHub Codespaces, and Microsoft can step in at any moment to create legal crises that strategically divide the market from a business perspective because, like Apple and their AppStore: it is their ecosystem that they control and they are in absolute control.

    I refuse to use VSCode/ium anymore; I usually pay for & use JetBrains; I keep trying—and failing—to use Emacs.

      well, Jetbrains are pretty high quality products though, I don’t mind paying their price if I have to pay for IDE for my personal work. I think even the corp level license pricing is not too bad compare to VS.
