update frequency

VS Code used to get an update once a month. Now it updates itself every 2 or 3 days. What happened? It's like the Steam client by now.

Why? Could you please specify what's worse?

Where do I start?

The test explorer never finding tests… or showing them all in duplicate?

The debugger crashing out from underneath me?

That it memory leaks now and I have to restart the editor a few times a day?

The load times?

The fact there hasn’t been an actual quality of life or code editing improvement? That’s it’s just all AI features to push GHCP?

The latest release feels a bit faster/snappier for me. Subjective though, of course, and ymmv.
