The "Your editor has DRM" section alone [0] is enough for me to continue to advocate for a better user-friendly FOSS IDE, in addition to the wonderful giants of emacs & vim, and to avoid the VS Code "kool aid".

VS Code is MIT Licensed - https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode

Arguably the MIT license gives you more Freedom than the GPL'd Linux kernel or GNU utilities. Trying to draw a distinction between "evil user-unfriendly Microsoft stuff" and "Holy Saviour FOSS" is not meaningful anymore.
