Basically yes, vscode was free, almost as fast and had more features, like out of the box intellisense.

People refer to it as VSCode, but do people really use VSCode or VSCodium? I personally use VSCodium. I think that is the most de-telemetry'd version of it, I think?

  • Not sure if VSCodium and others can use all the extensions, especially Microsoft ones like Copilot. I remember setting up something like that once and had to do a lot of fiddling to be able to use all the extensions I wanted. Gave up on it at some point.

    As for people in general, safe bet in almost any topic is that most people won’t care. :) So yes most people use VSCode.
