Because of this, we can't offer any extensions on Microsoft's marketplace.
-Instead, we've created a marketplace offering open-source extensions. The
-marketplace works by scraping GitHub for VS Code extensions and building them.
+Instead, we use the [Open-VSX extension gallery](https://open-vsx.org), which is also used by various other forks.
+It isn't perfect, but its getting better by the day with more and more extensions.

+We also offer our own marketplace for open source extensions, but plan to
+deprecate it at a future date and completely migrate to Open-VSX.
These are the closed-source extensions that are presently unavailable:

If you own a marketplace that implements the VS Code Extension Gallery API, you

- Thanks for opening an extension request!
- We are currently in the process of switching extension

- Once https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/issues/249 is implemented, we
