Note that Codium is a no go if you want to debug .NET projects, really annoying limitation MS put in place...

It's shit like this that keeps me from building any kind of trust in MS-owned open source projects.

Anyone thinking that Microsoft's recently found appreciation for open source isn't a Trojan Horse is a fool.

Is that because of the extension marketplace? Or the fact that the debugger has always been closed source?

VSDbg is closed source, technically licensed under visual studio, and only for MS products. Then they sprinkle some key check that prints a message telling you to use it in an official environment or whatever. It's dumb and needs resolved as part of their OSS efforts but seems more unlikely with each passing year.
