How long will the VScode wrapper (cursor, windsurf) survive?
Love to try the Claude Code VScode extension if the price is right and purchase-able from China.

I don't see any benefit in those VC funded wrappers over open source VS Code (or better, VSCodium) extensions like Roo/Cline.
They survive through VC funding, marketing, and inertia, I suppose.
Cline is VC funded.
Please give us a source as this does not seem publically verifiable.

VSCode is not open source. It is proprietary. code-oss is however an MIT-licensed project. VSCodium is also an MIT-licensed project.
what do you mean purchasable from china? As in you are based in china or is there a way to game the tokens pricing
Claude register need a phone number, but cannot select China (+86), and even if I have a account, it may hard to purchase because the credit card issue.
Some app like Windsurf can easily pay with Alipay, a everyone-app in China.
