    Friendly reminder that VSCodium exists, and nobody should be using Microslop’s spyware version anyway.

      VSCodium would have the same Electron caching issues though, wouldn’t it?

      The only difference downside 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

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

        Yeah, they really added DRM.

        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

      Been using zed lately. Pretty similar ui, wildly different performance.

        I’ve been using sed recently to edit my lines. Quite cumbersome but it gets the work done.

      Arent a lot of extensions incompatible by design? Some closed part of vscode needed for full functionality.

      Friendly reminder that Kate has nothing to do with Microsoft at all.
