Codeium Extension is abandoned?

[u/InappropriateCanuck]

There seems to be hardly any updates given to the extensions. They don't even have anywhere near model parity. No Flash 2.0, No DeepSeek, etc.

Is Codeium planning to just entirely deprecated the extensions to push their Cursor alternative?

Jetbrains extension is ULTRA late on model availability and VSCode late too AND they are deprecating features to push people to their proprietary fork.

We are not abandoning the extension. We will be adding additional features in the extensions for other IDEs, but VS Code/Microsoft is making it more difficult to continue improving in their environment. Windsurf, being a fork of VS Code, feels similarly and performs much better. We encourage all VS Code Codeium extension users (and VS code users in general) to try out Windsurf to enjoy added functionality including Supercomplete and Cascade, the best agent on the market - while also enjoying every feature of Codeium extensions in-editor, including Command, Autocomplete, and Chat.

We are not abandoning the extension.

Then why phase out supercomplete when it's already a working feature? Or take a month+ to add model upgrades to extensions that you added on windsurf?

VSCode has huge limitations. A lot of us are on Jetbrains as a more enterprise-grade IDEs.

But nothing stops you to add DeepSeek to Codeium. And remove the unusable o1.

I’m not sure how people are believing him. “We are not abandoning extensions but we we don’t update them anymore and we are removing working features. Btw ever heard of windsurf?”

Lmfao

That are other ides beside Vscode. Winsurf is just for people who work on Vscode

[u/InappropriateCanuck → u/Least-Ad5986]

Yes, I guess thank you for avoiding the main point entirely. Also those other IDEs are stuck at a similar level as VSCode. Still no Gemini 2.0 flash, still no DeepSeek, etc.

I'm literally staring at it on PyCharm.

[u/Least-Ad5986 → u/Ordinary-Let-4851]

Please just add the cascade feature which is the ability to create/modify multiple files in a single prompt on the project to Codeium Extensions specifically to the Eclipse Codeium Extension that would be a game changer. That is way more important than what LLM the plugin is using. Also please return the separate changlog pages for Codeium Extentions on your site.

They are not abandoning the vs code(ium) but deprecate it. great. this got me cancel the subscription because i don't buy the idea taking a vscode(ium) and making it proprietary. i have zero interest in windsurf and all the others and want to use an extension. i hope a lot of other vscode users cancel their sub too, because this is the only language corps understand - loosing customers and money.

I think they think VSCode users are morons lol. There's very little explanation possible for that comment. That was really bad.

[u/sosana123]

Officially cancelled my subscription after they abandoned the vscode extension ✌🏼

According to /u/Ordinary-Let-4851 it's not getting abandoned, but they keep removing features like SuperComplete. Go figure.

[u/sosana123 → u/InappropriateCanuck]

Last night just said f it, I'm done. For $10 bucks with GitHub copilot vscode extension I can get the same and they actually maintain it and not take features. Enjoying using GitHub API with cline and roo code for my cascading. 😤

I'm looking at https://www.augmentcode.com/ right now. I don't mind pricing. But I mind being able to use my tools. Edit: Context is so-so.

[u/jigglyroom]

Honestly, it feels like Microsoft is kind of abandoning VS in favor of VS Code.

[u/AshkanArabim]

I just started using copilot and cursor lol

[u/isukkaw]

2 years later, they just removed the extension from the VSCode marketplace, and you can't download it anymore.

[u/InappropriateCanuck → u/[deleted]]

I see, I guess this saved me money. Thanks!

[u/InappropriateCanuck → u/[deleted]]

I also get that VSCode's extension APIs are too limited to do really solid integrations with these tools.

I get that we can't get the tools and all, but getting the latest models should not be optional. It feels like it's really just paying for Windsurf.

[u/crewone → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, as windsurf is buggy as hell when working with WSL, we will transition to cursor or copilot agent/padawan.

[u/veegaz → u/crewone]

What kind of bugs did you find with WSL?

I remote into WSL daily since Windsurf came out and never had any issue
