I wonder if this will also impact VSCodium. I use it specifically to avoid a lot of the crap that Microsoft is trying to do while still being able to use the editor and plugins. They have not released 1.107 yet, doing a quick scan I am not seeing anything on the VSCodium github.

can anyone recomend a alternative that is easy to install and also offers syntax highlighting? i have read about lazyvim and neovim, but both have extensive install requirments as i have read
If you want something powerful yet easy to pick up, you might want to look at e.g. Zed (GUI IDE), Sublime Text (GUI editor), or Micro (TUI editor). If you don’t mind a learning curve, Vim/Neovim and Emacs are excellent choices. But there’s a lot of other options out there, like Gedit, Kate, BBEdit, Notepad++, etc. depending on your platform of choice.
Copilot is what finally pushed me to use vim seriously. There's not a single thing I miss from VS Code, or Visual Studio, and I'm not even using neovim. Also dropped .NET, which I've used professionally since Framework 1.0, in favor of Go. Don't miss anything from there either.

If anyone is considering moving editors, I was recently in the same boat and I can’t recommend enough lazyvim + the ebook “lazyvim for ambitious developers”. This gets you a fully featured vscode-like baseline (navigation, language integration, integrated terminal, the whole thing). I had tried many times to switch to vim/emacs and the initial barrier to get a workable system always kept me from pushing forward. With…
What’s that initial barrier? Both Vim and emacs has great documentation that includes a tutorial, a guide, and a reference.
What people often defines as workable system is replicating their old editors instead of learning the current one. Like adding a file tree on the side

patience is a virtue
Microsoft doing Microsoft things, even with all those fresh coats of "open source" paint they bathe themselves in the last decade they really can't change their DNA. Expect the amount of f*ckery to increase as the AI realities set in but the number has to go up either way. It reminds me of the good old days of Visual Studio + .NET + SQL Server where they played these games too.
This piece of news follows that of Copilot being added in an "update" to LG TVs with no option to disable or opt out. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46268844
Probably targeted at enterprise customers forcing them embrace co-pilot with big pockets. Bad move for individual users as this will only drive them to alternatives, instead of shelling out money.

I didn’t think it was even possible to install proprietary microsoft extensions in VSCodium, how is that related to the version of the editor and how would it affect VSCodium?
