VS Code could really use some work in that regard and I really do feel bad for that person, but this is also just funny as heck

I don't like how vs code thinks the world revolves around itself either. If I'm working on something, then checkout a different branch from a terminal, vs code sometimes undoes the "changes" on disk for open files and marks them as modified, infuriating. I never use the built in git functionality, as I find it more annoying than just using the command line in the first place, so thankfully it hasn't deleted random files for me yet.
I've had that experience myself and I can totally blame Microsoft. I've been coding with FoxPro for over a year. In those days you could easily code for hours and save your work only at the end. FoxPro had a well designed dialog that asked you "Save file.ext" with default on Yes
Then Microsoft acquired FoxPro, you couldn't tell before/after by design, but first MS FoxPro UI change you could find was the dialog was changed to "Quit without saving".
Nice (at least I've only lost a full day of two programmers work)
