Yep. Nature and Elsevier have their own issues but this is a different context.

While VSCode itself is open source, some of its most useful add popular Microsoft-owned extensions does not seem to be open. And I hate how reliant I am on those. The list includes remote ssh, Python etc. Without these extensions VSCode los
