Hi,
there is an MIT licensed base version called "vscode"
which the proprietary version of Microsoft Visual Studio Code
is based, which seems to be getting more popular.

Does somebody know of Free Software re-building or packaging efforts?

Best Regards,
Bernhard

"We build on top of the vscode code base we just open sourced and we release 
it under a standard, pre-release Microsoft license."

"We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that 
has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and 
then produce a build that we release under our license."

"When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are 
configured in the default product.json. Therefore, you generate a "clean" 
build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed 
under the MIT license"
