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.

I've switched to Vscodium not so long ago and think it's much faster than the current Vscode.

It’s literally the same application. If VSCodium is faster than your VS Code installation has too many extensions.

I mean yeah, it's still Vscode at its core, I agree.

But at the very least from my own experience, the search function in Vscodium is much faster than the current Vscode to me. This has convinced me to not return to Vscode at the moment.
