If I remember our conversation correctly from yesterday, this goal is to open a pop-up login window inside of VS Code instead of in a web browser. I just realized that the browser has a few advantages:
If the user is already logged in, they'll be fast-tracked to the consent form
Once a user logs in, they'll be remembered for future authorization sessions (assuming they don't log out)
The browser could have things making it easier to log in, e.g. password managers or browser autofill
A lot of user preference lives in the browser. We lose all of these advantages once we pop a webview in VS Code instead.
The main issue with browser auth, the ugly success page, is fixed by #26, so this issue isn't as necessary anyway.
Then again, Karan suggested this during pod demos today. So maybe this is something that users would expect anyway, and I'm wrong to think user preference is the browser.
