Oof. That's a damn shame. I think languages and use-cases like this are the perfect place for purpose built IDE development. If even these guys are turning into a VS Code downstream that's just sad.

Coincidentally I was thinking of giving R another go, but honestly now... I'm good...

If (That's a big if) they can give RStudio experience in VSCode environment, benefiting from the plugin ecosystem etc. why not?

RStudio is great when you are doing your own thing, but when it comes to more generic tools like Git, LLM, Autoformatting etc. it's a hard pass.

Who cares if it's VSCodium-based?

		I feel like a lot of these can be packaged as an extension for vscode. I'd rather not have multiple different variations of the same ide, too much duplication.
