  • Entirely open source and free for commercial use
  • The same editor as VS Code, built from the same MIT-licensed source without Microsoft branding
  • Telemetry is disabled in the default configuration
  • The workspace and perspective model feels dated and confuses newcomers
  • Plugin quality varies widely and conflicts are common
