it relies on a proprietary blob + product.json config from proprietary vscode builds
Comment on Which software do you mostly use for programming, and why?
FrameXX@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year agoYou can download any visual studio code extension from the visual studio extensions marketplace as far as my experience goes. There’s a “download extension” link for every extension which will give you a *.vsix
file. Only pity is that you won’t get any automatic updates for the extension.

Not all extensions work. The pylance one didn’t.

Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. The Remote* extensions rely on the (proprietary) VSCode server, and nobody has managed to hack it to work with e.g. Codium.
