"This could cost people their jobs": VS Code added Copilot as co-author without permission or notice

Neovim. It's painful at the beginning, but I'm getting more confident and productive. IMO, it's worth it if you're into CLI.

I also considered JetBrains products and Zed.

Speed and battery consumption are important to me, and JetBrains is too monstrous to satisfy these criteria. Besides, JetBrains doesn't really offer a basic code editor that you can extend with plugins. IntelliJ IDEA is meant to be like that, but it's a huge Java IDE whether you need it or not.

Zed looked good, but I decided not to invest my time into another code editor with paid features - they tend to enshittify over time.

It's part of the git extension, not github, according to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/310226 My understanding is that there is a separate extension for github: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/tree/main/extensions/github Or do you need both for this co-authored thing?

In any case, the point is that vscodium is still based on the same source code, and Microsoft can do anything with it.
