What would make sense is that people who know what VSCodium is answer the survey while those who don’t refrain. Then you would see fairly identical scores for VSCode and VSCodium.
What this survey demonstrates is that people express opinions about stuff they know nothing about.
True. I’m aware some extensions don’t work in VSCodium. But I’ve yet to run into one myself.
Having said that, I’m not a VSCod(e|ium) user myself, so it’s not like I’m a specialist I’m forced to know enough to support my users, and what I’ve seen of VSCodium so far is that it has almost zero downside for the invaluable upside of not feeding data to Microsoft.
But naturally I’m a Vim user through and through, and we Vim / Neovim / whatever VI clone floats your boat don’t need no Microsoft-made Electron resource pig to do our work, as you well know 🙂
I hate that any it so much. It doesn’t need to be that way but, MS. Yeah. Maybe I’ll try to make an OpenAPI plugin so that I can return to Neovim.
Pylance doesn’t work, and is a “necessity” for writing Python
