Important: it's another fork of VSCode.

I thought AI was ushering in the age of innovation so why is the only innovation anyone seems capable of copying something that already exists...?

In all actuality, AI seems to be ushering out the age of innovation since people now consider it foolish to spend their time trying to innovate instead of clone

I believe most projects use VSCode because it is hard to build a cross platform code editor with plugin system.

And if you're going to copy, might as well be the most popular editor to reduce user friction.
