I think there’s a few of us who appreciate you being up front. I’d question the intent and why it was a mistake, especially when the commit[0] message reverting said functionality states “widespread criticism” citing this very HN article makes it look seemingly like the revert is due to negative PR opposed to a mistake.

Author of that PR doesn't seem to be a Microsoft employee. Keep in mind that anyone on GitHub can create PRs against VSCode.
Even if that would be so, the person who approved it certainly is.
The PR linked to in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47992431 is not yet approved as of May 3 4:08 GMT.

The linked revert PR is not from Microsoft (and also isn't merged)
It is merged
dmitriv recreated in a separate PR and merged that. The linked revert PR by a user was closed.
Yep - Says he's got a Microsoft.com email address:

I am reverting it because there are bug in the feature and it obviously does not work as expected. Any feedback is important, HN or not.
So, you're reverting because of "bugs", not because you had massive backfire? Do you understand that no one wants this, right?
