I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

VSCode is an open source IDE. Its biggest rival is the JetBrains suite. When the alternatives are proprietary, VSCode is a win.

VScode isn’t foss. It just contains some open source code.

It contains mostly open source code. The proprietary binary MS distributes adds very little proprietary stuff to it. You can use the open source version Code - OSS just fine or use VSCodium which is based on that

If I was going to use it I would use VScodium.

How do you know what’s in VScode? Its still proprietary.
