VSCode is open source. Its underlying editor is too, it's called Monaco: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/

VSCode is based on a lot of open source code but many of the features are proprietary, such as remote file access and c# debugging. Also nothing other than the official, proprietary builds can use the add-on marketplace.

Regarding the add-on marketplace, the community has created their own marketplace for use in open-source builds. It's surprisingly complete and it's used by default in VSCodium. https://open-vsx.org/

Pretty sure OP just made it look and feel the same.

Cloning an open source project just to gut it and use its look and UX seems like 100x more work than just copying it.
