Azure Data Studio Retired, Replaced By VS Code Plugin

You have to ask the question: Is Microsoft doing this to improve the experience for developers?

This reminds me of the deprecation of Visual Studio for Mac. It was “retired” in favor of VS Code last year. Funny, the word “retired” makes the app sound incapable; past its prime, ready for the newer and better solution to take over. In the case of ADS this is not true. For example, it's missing basic functionality like editing row data, and the co-mingled keyboard shortcuts are a disaster. In the case of Visual Studio for Mac, no developer in their right mind would choose a browser-based pile of anemic plugins you control from the status bar and a pop-up menu over a native IDE. After lots of promises and close to a year of waiting VS Code is still an objectively terrible replacement. VS Code appears to be an all-consuming black hole. Stay far away from its event horizon.

So the answer to my initial question appears to be no, they are doing these things to help themselves with regard to maintenance, resourcing, and ultimately cost.

So, #Microsoft wants developers to use an Electron app reliant on a dumpster full of plugins as their development IDE. What could possibly go wrong? #vscode

Reminded today that #Microsoft #Teams is still a hot mess. Client added me to a team. Microsoft says my password is incorrect. Changed password to same one. Sign in. No access to the team I was invited to.

#Microsoft Visual Studio for Mac only has .NET 8 and Maui preview support in the release version of VS, not the preview version, which also has a lower version number.

I don't think they know what “Preview” means.

Microsoft Teams is adding an avatars feature but I wish they would first focus on basics like working microphone audio on macOS. I have to perform a test call before my meetings every time I launch Teams, otherwise I sound like the monster in your closet.

Microsoft now officially supports running Arm versions of Windows 11 Pro and Enterprise on macOS with Parallels Desktop version 18. So it appears that any contractual obligation for running these Arm versions of #Windows only on specific hardware using #Qualcomm chips has officially expired.
