In reply to Hector Asencio.

Again, I would point out that supporting Codespaces doesn’t mean that anyone is required to use it. If you do not want to use it because of the items you’ve pointed out that is fair and you are still free to use another development solution. As I’ve mentioned GitPod is also an alternative that uses the open source, non-MS tracking version of VSCode which is also something I’d advocate supporting as well. In the end reducing the barriers to contributing is the goal. Keeping things open and optional are the way to go. Keeping things rigid, inflexible, and a pain to get going for a new contributor doesn’t help anyone.
