If you're using vscode your going to experience one of the biggest rug pulls in history (even more so if you're using copilot). I mean wasn't copilot free until recently?
Developers are idiots (I include myself in that). The industry is myopic and completely driven by fashion.
It used to cost money, it's now free but it's quite limited. I'm sure it'll get more expensive later, but it is great value at the moment.
Not sure how you can rug pull an open source project...
