I couldn't get it to properly syntax highlight and autosuggest even after spending over an hour hunting through all sorts of terrible documentation for kate, clangd, etc. It also completely hides all project files that aren't in source control, and the only way to stop it is to disable the git plugin. What a nightmare. Maybe I'll try VSCodium next.

I thought vscodium was just vscode but open source. Won't any issues in vscode also be present in vscodium?

It can't access most Microsoft online services including Copilot, which happens to disable most of the features I don't want. (I understand this is both by design, as well as because Microsoft forbids unofficial forks from doing so.)

However, MS do everything they can to make plugins not work in VSCodium. And the plugin marketplaces are separate now.

Many of the popular features in VS Code are provided by plugins that are not open source and thus not provided with VSCodium.
