The only difference really is the occasional extension that needs a manual install.

I’ve been trying out VSIX Manager for my extensions so that I can keep track of which ones I want to install on each machine. This can make it easier to install the weird extensions that you can’t install otherwise

Well, that and the lack of telemetry and “phoning home” to Redmond. And that’s a big one.

  Whoops, I meant to say “only downside”. Edited it
  
  There are lots of positive differences

Not the only downside - some MS developed extensions, e.g. their Python integration, have to be patched to work with VSCodium: github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/discussions/1641

Yeah, they really added DRM.
