I have been a Open Source purist for many years. Working with Emacs and NeoVim. But hey....productivity is a big deal. I decided not to go for VSCode, but just buy the All Products Pack at Jetbrains. No, it's not all Open Source, but the VSCode distributed by MS isn't either. So now I'm no longer a purist, but still a Open Source enthousiast.
Maybe worth checking out for you too. The Jetbrains software is truly amazing.

@patbru i'm not that well informed, but would the VSCodium (without M$ telemetry) serve you just the same?

Compared to VSCode (the Microsoft compiled/distrubuted version) it in deed gives you less telemetry and its open source. But the default marketplace is limited but gaining momentum quickly. Using the MS marketplace is a grey area legally.
If you like the idea of an extensible text editor than VSCode can be a thing but also take a look at Helix and Zed. If you want a true IDE, consider Jetbrains.
