There shouldn't be any reason an open source hardware company should support something like vscode themselves.

It takes one update from vscode to break everything and your SOL.

vs code is open source and it works perfectly fine and there are tons of plugins for micro controller programming and support.

still, happy to see this update.

VSCode is open source, that's why they're basing their IDE on it. Writing a plugin would limit them to the wishes of Microsoft.
They're not basing their IDE on VSCode, but Eclipse Theia, which is somewhat based on VSCode, but it's not VSCode.
VScode...is open source? :/
