> crowdsourcing the missing things like VSCode does.

Based on what I am seeing right now [1], they might well have enough inertia to seriously compete against VSCode. I've analyzed a lot of open source projects and their community engagement on GitHub is quite impressive. Their contributor and new contributor stats is still going up, even though the initial hype was 2 months ago, which is really impressive.

If they can get proper support for Linux and Windows and nail core features, I can see people wanting to contribute in the future and business leaders paying for it, if they can demonstrate improved productivity and collaboration.

Full disclosure: This is my tool

they could do it if they built a proper plugin system. right now if its ot compiled in, you can't add it.
