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.

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.
