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 contains features not available in the real opensource version. It’s a bit of a Chrome vs. Chromium situation. There’s VSCodium, but it misses some features.

Aren’t those features just telemtry and the plugin store (for which there is an open source replacement btw)

Live share, remoting (running over ssh or other) and settings sync are both absent from codium, they’re the ones I know of

Lack of SSH would be a deal breaker for me.

You can obviously SSH from the terminal but unless you use some external solution you can’t open folders on remote machines in the ide
