TLDR: same VScode extension now listed on OpenVSX registry, for Eclipse Theia et al.
But it's unclear if they tested it. For me, it fails basic configuration steps on the simplest project. Plugin compatibility between VSCode and others seems iffy.
Couple this with Xcode 26.4 AI lacking agentic features and you get Swift programmers being left behind.

A blessing, some might argue.
In what way does it fail?
Package introspection fails with an error that there are other swiftpm processes running when there aren't in a clean project with no .folders - probably a race with itself. That means no automatic configuration for tests or executables, debugging, etc. Just "build all"
Thats... not great. I wonder if its https://github.com/swiftlang/vscode-swift/pull/2174, which I was running in to sporadically a few weeks ago and was fixed in the latest release.
