This has been my mental shift as well. I also decide this when someone tells me the site only works in Chrome, so I should switch to Chrome. No, thanks.
* Drag/drop support from Finder.
* Git pre-commit chokes Sublime Merge (for some weird reason), I'm sure I can troubleshoot this but I every time I take a swing at it, it blows up in my face and I give up
* Strange autocomplete issues
* A few other things I forget about, but will try it again and see if I can remember
I use vscode for doing devops-y things (Terraform, OpenTofu, JSON, python, yaml, txt, dockerfiles, etc.) and sometimes the way it bogs down my system drives me bananas. I'll punt to Sublime Text on occasion and use it for a few days, but then start running into papercuts in various places and have to go back to vscode. I so, so wish there was a better way to do this without fucking electron.

Unfortunately, it always matters. There's always someone who wants to know where the data is physically located and they will always want an answer for it.
The only thing people are missing here is that it's not just about the hardware, it's about Chrome in particular.
Our school system "requires" the use of the Chrome browser because of the third-party plugins that only support Chrome. The school board thinks the best way to do that is... of course... to buy Chromebooks.
They're awful. Terribly slow, constantly breaking, and a total disaster. I'd love to see MacBooks come into use here, but sadly it's not just about the hardware. The school board has to stop being lured by shitty software vendors.
