I'm sure it works fine now, and I don't doubt that it was fine in your case, but it was a huge inconvenience for me and the maintainers were pretty unhelpful about it when people complained. It literally took 9 months for a feature to be added that allowed changing the marketplace a user wanted without it being overwritten by updates. https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/418 https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/418 The correct way to do this would have been to start with a way to persistently change the marketplace URL being used and having the change be opt-in, then having a major version release when the default value was changed, including obvious instructions about how to change the desired marketplace. Instead, people were told to do the work themselves of porting over the extensions they wanted. That's a great way to get people who don't have the time or interest in that to just abandon the project altogether. Even if it is fine now, I just don't want a tool I use for my daily work to be one that could break from an auto-update because the maintainers decided to make some massive change without consideration for the users.
