except for visual studio code

But also:

  • Telemetry everywhere
  • Not permitted to use the official marketplace with OSS builds
  • Not able to use certain extensions (like C# debugger) with OSS builds

Though I've been very happy about the direction .NET and C# have been going, especially the licensing.

That's why vscodium exists brah

What I'm saying is that Microsoft is, in fact, being hostile by limiting OSS builds such as Codium in the ways I've mentioned above. I guess that's how they try to get people to keep using their proprietary build instead.
