Forgive the kneejerk reaction but it sounds like we've come full circle back to closed source IDEs. For what reason are any of those extensions closed source? Why are people using and championing tools with closed source extensions that check what they're running on (in order to force you to use/buy the original thing) in 2020?

You can pry emacs/vim from my cold dead hands -- Microsoft is trying (and succeeding) in google-chrome-ing it's way into the productive developer space. If that's true, I wonder what the Firefox in this analogy is? Atom? Emacs/Vim?
