Why the need to fork it instead of creating a new extension? (besides marketing)
- benoau 11mo agoBecause if they're just an extension they're stuck with whatever rules Microsoft makes up, and Google is no stranger to using this leverage against others.
- meowface 11mo agoBecause there are plenty of good reasons why you may want to modify/extend the code and the look and feel beyond what an extension would let you do. I never understood why people scoff at VS Code forks. I'd honestly tend to be more skeptical of new editors that don't fork VS Code, because then they're probably missing a ton of useful capabilities and are incompatible with all the VSC extensions everyone's gotten used to.
