While I don't plan to use it in the near futre, its good to have alternative because company agendas do change and less so in non-profit zone.

But, the major benefit IMO is this:

> We encourage VS Code extension developers to push their extensions to Open VSX in addition to Microsoft’s marketplace.” Open VSX is “an open-source implementation of a VS Code extension registry that we have developed under the umbrella of the Eclipse Foundation

This sounds like a nice thing to have and is usable ASAP. It will probably come with less potential restrictions (like political bans of developers on GitHub etc.)

Could Open VSX be used with VSCodium, and could it potentially be made a default there? They have expressed an interest in using a different marketplace: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/DOCS.md#ext...

Edit: Someone just opened an issue. If that was you and you're reading this, thanks! https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/372
