This is getting downvoted but how is this not good? Perhaps if you are adamant about not having this feature in your editor?

It's an extension so it can be deactivated. That's good. But it is a lot of effort and time invested on a feature no one requested, to shoehorn people into workflows that have been proven to be unproductive and introduce another telemetry spying vector. While several performance issues and years old bugs remain ignored. So of course people hate it.

At least the spying vector is open.
