Ditching GitHub
It is incredibly difficult to assess the quality of projects in depth.
I tried doing this for Open-VSX extensions for handling justfile:

ReSharper for VS Code
Why not publish it on https://open-vsx.org for Windsurf and other forks?

OpenVSX, which VSCode forks rely on for extensions, down for 24 hours
For context, Open VSX is run by the Eclipse foundation, which also develops the Eclipse Theia editor, which is basically a clone of VS Code (not a fork, like VS Codium).
The Open VSX registry is open source (https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx) and self-hostable, although I have no experience with that. I assume it's possible to host your own instance with the extensions you want instead of relying on the free public instance.
Personally I'm more of a Sublime guy, but people looking for an open VSC alternative should consider Theia over VSC forks. It seems like the smarter long term investment if you want to get out from Microsoft's control.

Material Theme has been pulled from VS Code's marketplace
I was going to point this weird part of their comment too.
Reminder that the Open-VSX extension registry exists: https://open-vsx.org
Idk if they removed the malicious theme (or if they have it at all), but if MS isn't doing anything beyond just responding to user reports, you might as well switch to an open registry that probably does the same level of security work, and avoid giving them yet another monopoly.

We also import your extensions automatically (safe guarding against the ones with Microsoft's licensed)
You can also just download in from the vscode marketplace webpage and drag and drop it in

Show HN: Void, an open-source Cursor/GitHub Copilot alternative
> Microsoft also made its extension marketplace closed-source so we (and Cursor) have to hack our way through it.
For the marketplace, can you not use Open VSX [https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx]?
