Not sure if it's still possible to access the vast extension marketplace from Microsoft, which is the true value. If I remember correctly, that can only be accessed from the VS Code released by Microsoft. https://cdn.vsassets.io/v/M146_20190123.39/_content/Microsoft-Visual-Studio-Marketplace-Terms-of-Use.pdf https://cdn.vsassets.io/v/M146_20190123.39/_content/Microsof...

Extension marketplace access it might, but I wonder if the .NET debugger will work with it. I remember it was specifically prohibited to run on the non-microsoft built vscode. Without this extension, the .NET coding experience is very meh

  Why would you code .Net in vscode vs VS Community Edition (or one of the premium editions)? I find vs ce much better than vscode for .net stuff.

    Full-blown VS is not available on Linux

      Fair. I was gonna ask why do .Net on Linux but then I remembered they OSS’ed it

        .NET core works pretty well on Linux - I have an ASP.NET Core side project and work exclusively from a Linux machine. The other two maintainers work from Macs.

        Yep, it also works fairly well. I'm maintaining a couple services at my day job that are designed to only work on Linux. VS Code is also involved because we're heavily using the Remote Development feature (which only works in MSFT's VS Code, not in VSCodium, because of licensing) to run the IDE core inside the container, so the dev environment is well standardized and portable across devs/host OS

Marketplace is accessible.

  A marketplace is available, not the MS marketplace. Some extensions are missing apparently due to licensing restrictions. > For this reason, VSCodium uses open-vsx.org, an open source registry for VS Code extensions.

    You can always keep VSCode and make a symlink on the extension directory (~/.vscode and ~/.vscode-oss for vscodium) so you can access the MS ones.

the readme for vscodium says they've put up an alternative place: https://open-vsx.org https://open-vsx.org > According to the VS Code Marketplace Terms of Use, you may only install and use Marketplace Offerings with Visual Studio Products and Services. For this reason, VSCodium uses open-vsx.org, an open source registry for VS Code extensions
