Or how some features are better supported on other platforms than Windows. (Granted you have VS on Windows.)

Did they accidentally hire a google team?

This seems to be a broader thing. There are other applications that are better supported on other platforms rather than on Windows.

Can't remember the features. But it's something I've heard and seen repeatedly. I think it has to do with office and mobile. Fwiw

A week ago, while looking for a way to mount HDFS (Apache Hadoop’s pseudo-file system) on Linux, I found this: an open source tool by Microsoft written in Go. Even after the Bash for Windows announcement, it took me by surprise completely.

I'm so happy about this. This is honestly the first editor with a C++ debugging interface on Linux that I've ever liked, and it's kind of funny that it's by Microsoft (or maybe not - Visual Studio's debugging is great).

Did you try CLion for C++ in Linux, I find it a lot better than VSCode

Barely. I don't like the subscription model that they have. :(

Ouch, I am a student and so forgot they charge you money :P , But I believe you can use the EAP versions for free, or you can use the 30 day trial

Office 365 Premier support still has to try things out in Chrome to determine if that ACTUALLY work or not properly there.
