Hard pass. It requires an account to use. You can sign in using GitHub creds but I don't know enough about it to trust it.

Also, a warning to others: It doesn't come with an uninstaller.

Source? License? Pricing? ... No? close tab
Also, why do I need to create an account to use it?
This website seems to completely ignore the existence of non-windows platforms, to the point they don't even list supported OSs. Wow, I thought these went extinct years ago.
The usual excuse is 'Linux users will just want to use the command line tools anyway', which implies to me that the grand claims about the tooling being better are untrue.

A windows only dev tool in today's day and age seems ridiculous, honestly.

FYI: installer auto-downloads but doesn't do any OS detection. Looks like this is Windows-only.
