  • I use vscodium, and let me point out a few things before anyone thinks its a drop in replacement :

    • the store/marketplace is not the same. Due to licencing vscodium is not allowed to access the microsoft vscode marketplace. However, you can change the url to use the official marketplace
    • some extensions ( mostly a few microsoft extensions ) are not allowed to run in vscodium. Think of stuff like the .net debugger
    • vscode has build in addons like the .net debugger, razor support, some c++ syntaxing etc, that vscodium does not have and can not have if you want the official addons

    Overall i love vscodium, but for work i cant use it sadly.
    Now hobby work is all vscodium







  • Its not that i disagree with you, they should have used them and its pretty bad ( though a lot can be fixed with some good old wd40 for electronics lol)

    However, its not a few cents more. Its way way more. A regular stick is around 1.84 - 2.73 euro a piece depending on how many you order from official components store. A hal sensor stick is often 2-4 euro.

    Lets say 150mil switches are sold, each having 2 sticks and its 0.2 more per stick. That gives us the following
    150,000,000 * (0.2 * 2)=60mil
    60mil difference in cost for the company, at least, for using different sticks. And thats just sticks that come with the console, not separately sold controllers or pro controllers.

    Manufacturing cost is very different than just ‘its a few cents more’.
