Nice post! VSCode and its forks (like Cursor) can be good platforms to target for development depending on the kind of software you're creating. You can get your software on Windows, Mac, and Linux if you target VSCode as your platform.

The extension marketplace needs some love, including support for paid extensions and in-extension purchases. I ran into the need to make some money to maintain my extensions and created code-checkout to solve the problem.

My hope is that we see a sustainable extension ecosystem, and until MS ends up supporting devs by helping them get paid through the marketplace, I'll be doing my part to fill the void with code-checkout.
