Compatibility can be iffy though. I eventually switched back to the official VSCode application because I was fed up that extensions kept breaking randomly.
I'm worried that Microsoft is succeeding at making the semi-proprietary version of VSCode the only viable option, while keeping the OSS forks as second-class citizens at best.
I don't know, it's just my personal experience. I used the "OSS Code" fork for a few years on Archlinux but Python intellisense kept breaking when I needed it the most, often with one cryptic error or another. Sometimes I could fix it by switching to VSCodium, installing/uninstalling the `code-features` package, or some random config tweak, but at some point I just got tired of fighting the editor instead of coding.
