Oh just a minute, you mean the product that Microsoft gave you (as they crushed as much open source competition as they could) wasn't really free?!
-
The cool thing is Microsoft will give you ads in software you paid for as well!
-
How did they crush open source competition?
-
The usual way.

for anyone else, Vscodium is vs code with all the Microsoft parts stripped out.

I use vscodium, and let me point out a few things before anyone thinks its a drop in replacement :
- the store/marketplace is not the same. Due to licencing vscodium is not allowed to access the microsoft vscode marketplace. However, you can change the url to use the official marketplace
- some extensions ( mostly a few microsoft extensions ) are not allowed to run in vscodium. Think of stuff like the .net debugger
- vscode has build in addons like the .net debugger, razor support, some c++ syntaxing etc, that vscodium does not have and can not have if you want the official addons
Overall i love vscodium, but for work i cant use it sadly.
Now hobby work is all vscodium-
You can modify your product.json to use Microsoft's extension gallery. There are also extensions you can install to do this for and prepackaged binaries that do as well

It’s early, but I have high hopes for Lapce.
I was never a fan of Electron, but I am admittedly very old school.

Including the add on store, so be prepared for a damn hazzle to get any add ons and keeping them up to date.
-
The MS store is replaced by OpenVSX by the Eclipse Foundation. Some addons are not there. E.g. M$ closed source addons e.g. for remote development over ssh or their python and C# extensions.
