I opt-out.

Just like opting out of using a Microsoft account to log into windows, the grips will get tighter and tighter over time until you are forced to use butt hole ID to unlock your screen.

Me too... well using linux is technically opting out to that right?

It's the only way to be sure Microsoft won't sneakily turn it back on.

At least until they sneak it into VS Code's telemetry. ...only sort of joking.

VS Codium to the rescue.

I spent a couple of weeks trying to get used to vim and in the end I just figured that whatever performance boost I'm supposed to get by not having a UI, I lose by having to learn vim.

People who use it need to be on some kind of government watch list.

pls watchlist me

That's fair though. I mostly made my comment to be irritating/silly. Vim is not for everyone. It took me quite some time to achieve productivity gains, but I was encouraged to keep trying because I was doing a shitload of text editing over SSH. All text editors are valid, provided they're FOSS.
