Cursor is a paid product and a company, VSCodium is an open-source project running on volunteers.


So the $900M product runs on volunteer-ran infrastructure, without giving anything back to the Open VSX registry?

Seems like software development industry in a nutshell: multi-millionaire companies freeloading on volunteer work :)


Open VSX is actually ran by the Eclipse Foundation, but yeah, apparently Cursor doesn’t support them. :’)
