Do you really miss stuff in VS Code's core editor? I mean, coming to think about it, VS Code feels "feature complete", I haven't found in other editors features that I thought "wish I had this in VS Code". Not to justify the whole changelog being about Copilot (isn't it supposed to be a separate extension anyway?), but I guess it's either that or going for a while without updates, or really small changes you'd probably not notice

Just look at open issues, sorted by most thumbs up:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20st...

One that I am interested in is tree sitter syntax highlighting support: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/50140

There are a ton of things that could be done. The fact that you haven't personally needed more features doesn't mean it's "feature complete". Not even close. You just haven't hit those pain points in your workflow.

Also, look at what May 2024 changelog looks like https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_90

vs most recent one https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_103
