If someone is a purist and wants to use it to avoid lock-in - it is available at https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium


I gave this an earnest try over the course of a few months. There were notable bugs in nearly all of the extensions I needed to use for work. It's known that Microsoft ships custom builds of the open source portion of VS Code, and there's certainly something missing from the open source core. I ended up going back to hobbled Atom while I wait for projects like Zed to mature.


That doesn't make sense to me as there are next to no changes between VSCodium and VS Code.

Unless these extensions were closed source Microsoft-authored?

Honest question: How would we know that? Is it possible to somehow diff vscode's code with the open source repo? Is there an analysis available somewhere of the differences?


And I am simply not using extensions. (Viable for me, may be not viable for others.)
