VS Code

HoldToolsNEW

We’re placing VS Code on hold as a default editor. Its remote development support installs a server into each remote workspace, its extension marketplace has become a supply chain risk with malicious extensions reported repeatedly, and its telemetry and proprietary Microsoft extensions conflict with how we want to run our environments. Neovim in a remote workspace over SSH is simpler and easier to control. Engineers who depend on VS Code for a specific workflow aren’t required to switch, but we don’t build team tooling around it.
