    Microsoft tried to lock a development feature behind a paywall by introducing an artificial dependency on Visual Studio.

    This also happened to occur right around the time there were also licensing and hosting issues around open source libraries. The manipulation of the .NET foundation was the really concerning part. Made it clear that MS still doesn’t give a damn about the wider community using their language.
