… because official vscode binaries are proprietary, released under EULA and include tracking components
official vscode(oss) binaries still have tracking, they’re not properly configured and come without any marketplace. (arch ships an openvsix config file with openvsix though)
vscodium comes without tracking and pre-configured with openvsix marketplace, and also provides it’s own branding.
i always end up just going back to vscodium.
liked Helix quite a lot more but still switched back after a while
Neovim plugin+vscodium/vscode are great
@vox @Kinglink why not vscode?

@vox really!! I thought that vscode open source
yes, but vscode’s source code is still released under an open-source license. (that’s what vscodium and code-oss are built from)
