What if one language server adds a function to use your code for AI training? Are you okay with that as long as it came as a gitthub binary? And these modern editors introduce another issue with their modularazied design. For each supported language Vscode installs tons of other crap beside the language server itself. And the language server alone has a quite long list of dependencies https://github.com/golang/vscode-go/blob/master/extension/go...

Weird that you couldn't get extensions working. Everything I've wanted works in vscodium. The only thing I couldn't get working is the remote sharing where you can connect to someone else's instance and co-edit (remote ssh editing works). Extensions that I currently have installed: * https://github.com/alefragnani/vscode-bookmarks * https://github.com/gitkraken/vscode-gitlens * https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-xml * https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-yaml * https://github.com/znck/grammarly * https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim * https://github.com/mousavian/ssh-config-syntax-highlighter * https://github.com/golang/vscode-go * https://github.com/prettier/prettier-vscode * https://github.com/braver/vscode-solarized
