Hi Aaron,

every now and then I'm looking for an alternative to jEdit.

Thus I've read a bit on the visualstudio home-page.
I stumbled upon
"VS Code collects usage data and sends it to Microsoft to help improve
our products and services." [1]
Well, you can disable it, yes.
But why is it the default? For me a nogo.

Ok, a lot software does things like that (I hate it there as well),
I'll will not download another one, though.

Best,
  Harm
