If you’d like a spyware free alternative, you can try vs codium: https://vscodium.com
I have tried it, but had trouble when every project and example relies on stuff that only works with the m$ version. Emacs is the exact opposite with real people sharing in a free and open public commons.
You can connect VSCodium to the VSCode marketplace and then have access to all of the same plugins that VSCode has. The only thing that doesn't work properly is .NET because... Microsoft.
