    The Microsoft VSCode releases are proprietary

      And full of telemetry

        And also FOSS is just cool. That’s just a cherry on top.

      The bigger problem is the official extension marketplace being locked down preventing other programs like Codium from being able to legally use it.

  My work laptop has Windows installed, but I use VSCode and WSL or EC2 Linux instances solely for my work. VSCodium would not work with that workflow because it lacks the Remote amd WSL functionality

    100% in the same boat. WSL and VSCode is basically a requirement for me, and codium can’t do the WSL linking.
