I have only used VSCodium for a long time - the FOSS fork of VSCode. Only thing to bear in mind is some extensions that need specific MS code may not work. I refuse to install “stock” VSCode.
Lately I have discovered tho that I can pretty much replicate everything I needed in VSCodium with vim and tmux. Tmux, split in three panes, once vertically and then the second one horiztonally. Big vertical one has vim, other two have terminals: one usually for browsing directories or reading manuals and another for tasks like compiling / running / uploading. Works really well for me.
