In other aspects VSCodium and VSCode are pretty much the same (except a couple of niche features). And neither of them is an IDE (not to be confused with M$ Visual Studio, which is a paid IDE with all compilers, debuggers etc. included).
But you can alter both of them to the state of IDE using plugins. VSCodium might require a small extra step that is enabling VSCode Plugin Marketplace, if you need some proprietary extensions, that’s all.
Well, even FAR manager which they’ve open-souced long time ago is still maintained 😀 Good thing they didn’t discover this bug in 2000s!
