Hi Aaron, every now and then I'm looking for an alternative to jEdit. Thus I've read a bit on the visualstudio home-page. I stumbled upon "VS Code collects usage data and sends it to Microsoft to help improve our products and services." [1] Well, you can disable it, yes. But why is it the default? For me a nogo. Ok, a lot software does things like that (I hate it there as well), I'll will not download another one, though.
