AI desperation has ruined VS Code

The desperation is all over the place now.

Before:

After:

VS Code is no longer about having an open-source lightweight editor freely available to anyone.

Now it’s about winning the AI race with GitHub Copilot.

At first they were playing it cool — Copilot was just another extension you installed like Tabnine and others.

But soon VS Code slowly started being used more and more as a marketing platform to get people to pay for Copilot.

Copilot promo in the Welcome Page — a great, hard-to-miss location right?

And if you miss that, you most certainly wouldn’t miss the Copilot button right next to the search bar.

Visible not just on the Welcome page but on any page — or no page open at all.

I knew it once I saw this button appear. Yet another app had hopped on the AI train.

Copilot was no longer being treated as just another VS Code extension, but a core part of the editor.

The face of VS Code.

When you think of VS Code, you are to immediately think of Copilot.
