As others have mentioned there are unfortunately issues in detail when using an inofficial version of VSCode and even more issues when using the original VSCode of course. I get that it's currently the most popular code editor but it's really not recommended to use it. It's kind of painfully obvious that Microsoft is driving the development of VSCode, and MS is simply not your friend. Not even when it gives you a permissively-licensed open source tool. It's still kind of poisoned albeit at a low dosage, making it hard to detect. The type of poison we're talking here are opt-out (if you're lucky) telemetry (of course!), features or extensions which are ONLY compatible with the OFFICIAL build of VSCode so you can't 100% work around VSCode's issues by "being smart" and using a better-preconfigured inofficial build, and as an Electron-based application it's very bloated and prone to security issues. And, of course, Microsoft steers its development so it may at any point introduce additional anti-features (which is likely, since this is MS we're talking about here) and also steer its users away from using inofficial builds which might in theory fix some of those anti-features. It smells, and it's not a particularly smart long-term time investment option.
My recommendations are:
If you want another relatively easy option learn the Vim keybindings (not that hard) and then use Neovim or NVim or however it's called officially. It can be made into a full-fledged IDE with tons of modern features including LSP and Treesitter quite quickly and painlessly. As a bonus you become familiar with Vim which is present on basically all Linux/Unix/*BSD based operating systems on the planet, so it's useful to know its basics.
If you don't mind the harder but more rewarding option, learn and configure Emacs (maybe start with Doom Emacs, it's easier at the start and uses the Vim keybinds by default). Some other "starter kits" or "distributions" exist as well of course, e.g. Bedrock or Crafted Emacs. Emacs can do literally everything and more, it just needs a lot of time to tweak it, it uses a weird language, and the learning curve at the very start is basically a straight wall into the sky including an overhang. But once you've climbed that, it's an amazing tool for life, going beyond just code editing. Emacs has been around ~40 years and is even growing stronger recently so it's rock solid and highly dependable, a real tool for life. Also it's community-maintained, GNU-backed FOSS without weird drawbacks. Since its default keybinds (as well as many other defaults) are ancient (terrible) you should either customize them in various possible ways or use evil-mode which allows you to use basically all of Vim's keybinds inside Emacs as well.
