yes. but vim is even better
That must be lies, Microsoft promised they would continue to support Atom so that must be true!
vscodium just works for me , its just like vscode removing telemetry
Not much to gain except more privacy and fully open source. A downside is there are less extensions available since it gets extensions from Open VSX Registry. Also there are extensions out there that are not good for privacy.
I still think VSCodium is worth it however.
You can use the official extension repo with vscodium. You just have to edit the editors file accordingly. I dont have the link right now, but it should be easy to find.
I was not aware of this.
