    The tooling is not entirely open or freely available.

    If you, for e.g., want to debug you have to use MS tooling.[0] You also can't use VSCodium because only the MS built/distributed version of VSCode contains the necessary proprietary binary blobs necessary to debug C# (which also means you're forced to using the aggressive telemetry and other data collection built into the non-open source distribution of VSCode).

    They've also taken steps to lock down the LSP support for C#, which once again requires that you use a MS sanctioned code editor to write C#. [1]

    I really enjoy writing C# and think dotnet is a great platform to develop for, but the barriers preventing me from building more projects on it is that I don't want to be forced to use VSCode or Visual Studio.
