Worth pointing out that VS Code is not really open source.
The builds are proprietary.
It’s based on an open source core but the builds can include anything that Microsoft thinks will be commercially useful to it.
- foepys 4y agoThere is a libre version of VS Code but it is missing features like access to the official extension marketplace. https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium

- exyi 4y agoIt works reasonably well though, most extensions are in the libre open-vsx.org gallery. Only problem for me is the missing .NET debugger...
