I would like to suggest to change the name of vsCodium to just Codium, to remove the vs part.
The vs part (visual studio) doesn't fit for this IDE/Editor, since it has no visualization like visual studio had when they introduced the drag and drop function of tools or whatever the reason was for this kinda dumb name.

@theArianit This is an active topic. Check out #193.

...whatever the reason was for this kinda dumb name.

😒 The "Visual" aspect comes from the ability to perform "visual" point-and-click composing of Windows Forms (the drag and drop utility you mention), interactive debugging, class design, data modeling, and more; i.e. less time coding. Although I agree VSCodium should be renamed to Codium, the "visual" component isn't completely irrelevant.
