I dont see many mentions of vscodium and I find that surprising. vscode is undeniably very good and popular. vscodium is the exact same only without the microsoft specific pieces. So if you dont want to worry about sending data to a megacorp or just want to use opensource software, then vscodium is the way to go. Ive been using it for about a year and have had zero issues. Since it is the exact same the transition was seamless too.

One thing to note is that vscodium doesnt use the microsoft extension marketplace so extensions from microsoft can still be used but needs some configuration.
