VSCodium
Microsoft's Visual Studio Code is probably the best coding environment one could ask for. It's open source, but the binaries are not. They inject a bunch of telemetry and tracking into it. If you're like me, that doesn't sound great. That's where VSCodium comes in. It's an open source build of VSC. Unfortunately the Windows Subsystem for Linux and Docker integrations are built to only work with the proprietary versions. For my development, these extensions are essential. Luckily I've made a script to easily allow these extensions to work with VSCodium and other custom builds. While these closed source extensions almost certainly send telemetry data, it's better than the entire application.Â
