Seems like a much better use of resources would to be just make a vscode extension.

  Well they have the command line build tool. IMO: focusing on the CLI so people could integrate it better into more mature/complete environments would have been much better. The main reason people use the Arduino IDE is because it doesn't drag in the complexity of something like AVR studio (which interestingly enough is just a visual studio extension IIRC.)

  Agreed, I would argue having a special editor one needs to use is a barrier to entry for beginners or even people like myself who don't want to switch over to a new editor.

  There's already PlatformIO for that. VSCode is not really open and has nasty tracking included. The source is available under MIT however if you strip the tracking out and build that code like VSCodium does you may no longer use the add-on repositories of VSCode and have to use open-vsx.org. And the standard extensions made by Microsoft like the C/C++ extension may not be published by open-vsx.org. Since PlatformIO integration with VSCode/VSCodium is dependent on this extension you can not run it without submitting to tracking. That sucks.
