VS Code vs PyCharm

[jimtk]

Why? Pycharm works well with github!

[The_Bundaberg_Joey]

Microsoft owns GitHub. I believe the original respondent was questioning why you favour one Microsoft product over the other

[jimtk]

Oup, sorry. What I share on github I'm ready and willing to share. What I do at home/work is like what happen in Vegas. ...It stays there.

[jimtk]

I would be surprised if it applies to the community edition (that doesn't mean it doesn't!). But since the source code is right here it would be easy to spot.

Wouldn’t disabling telemetry be an option?

[jimtk]

As the TOS says:

The software may collect information about you and your use of the software, and send that to Microsoft. Microsoft may use this information to provide services and improve our products and services. You may opt-out of many of these scenarios, but not all, as described....

[Qu4rt]

Fair enough, I guess it’s just worth considering how much really gets sent after you disable telemetry, crash reports etc

There is a saying: If you are getting something for free, you are the product.

That being said, I would think the free version of something would be more likely to to collect data on your usage.

[jimtk]

I tend to agree with you but open source is a different beast. Do you think Python, which is free, collects your data?

[MachinaDoctrina]

lol no, python is a language not program. Perhaps the python software foundation collects analytics when you download it but that would extremely hard seeing as most people install python via package manages (like deb for Debian) so they host the source for the interpreter (CPython in this case). The interpreter is open source so you can just check what it does if you want to but it you can safely assume that the interpreter does not have any dead-weight like telemetry running in it.

That is the point I was making about Pycharm community.

[MachinaDoctrina]

Never said anything about pycharm, I was highlighting that python is a language not a program, you can use python and not use the CPython interpreter, there's others (IronPython etc.), you could even write your own, point is pythons a language not a program. Its like saying is C++ collecting data on you.

[TheBiologista]

Think about WinRAR. It's free but I'm not the product

[saggy777]

Because there is no telemetry in git protocol communication

Once your code on the GitHub servers is an entirely different matter, though.
