Exactly. That's what Cursor did, and (I think) Microsoft will agree with that and maybe even welcome developers to do this.

- throw4950sh06 2y agoThere's an entire mechanism to build custom VSCode based applications right there ready to be used. They did more than could be expected.
- tristan957 2y agoHas Microsoft allowed Cursor to access the VSCode Marketplace? As far as I know, it is against the ToS for any editor other than VSCode to access it.
- com2kid 2y agoI think Cursor just mirrors the VSCode marketplace on their own servers. They used to have an ugly work around for installing extensions, but now it just works and I see links to https://marketplace.cursorapi.com/ https://marketplace.cursorapi.com/ inside of Cursor's extension browser.
- tristan957 2y agoAny idea how they got the data? I would imagine that just downloading all the data is also against the ToS.

- epolanski 2y agoI use both vsc and cursor, cursor imported automatically all my vsc extensions and settings and theme and everything.
- pzmarzly 2y agoProbably not. Please suggest to extension authors to dual-publish their extensions to OpenVSX and VSMarketplace. So far all authors I engaged with were happy do to so (except for Microsoft of course, who are the only benefactor of this wallet garden situation).
- tristan957 2y agoI find that many of the extensions I use do dual publish. I also dual publish my own extension for people because walled gardens are not cool.
- thiht 2y agoI also have an extension that I dual publish. I was surprised to see it’s getting as many downloads on OpenVSX as on the VSCode marketplace. I’m just glad it’s useful to more people for marginally no cost.
- immibis 2y agoFortunately most ToS are not legally enforceable, but only amount to a public statement of "we are threatening to block your IP if you do this"
