There's also WSL, .NET Core, they own GitHub and continue to host a lot of stuff for free, and more things I'm forgetting. I think the IDE was the least of it frankly. People do seem a bit too gullible because all of these things serve Microsoft's bottom line more than it does open source developers' (isn't it nice that we can now run Linux things right in Windows? How convenient that you don't need to dual boot and boot out of Windows rather than using WINE to run Windows things on Linux..!), but to say that it was all because of the electron IDE version named after a much better IDE is misrepresenting the situation
Give them a (somewhat) open source IDE and they start believing you are friend of open source in general.
