Didn't the author evade a ban? Isn't that enough reason to take this down?

It's a new publisher https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/publishers/fanny

If you dig into the code on GitHub [1] , you can see it's the same author as the Material Theme. But I'm not sure how the marketplace folks are supposed to track that.

new main features:

0 external and harmful dependencies
