I think you're asking a slightly incorrect question. Very few features could "only" be added thanks to the MS acquisition. What you really want to know is how many more features were added, thanks to MS. Or, how much longer would those features have taken to be built if GitHub was not acquired by MS. My gut feeling, seeing GH pre- and post-acquisition, says that a lot of the stuff they shipped post-MS would simply never have been shipped before.
Under MS, they shipped - just off the top of my head:
* dev containers
* vscode-github-in-the-browser
* github actions
* that extremely useful fuzzy-find that repos have (press t
in any repo)
* copilot
I seriously doubt they could have shipped a single one of those things pre-MS.
