We definitely intend to explore a VS Code extension in the not too distant future. And we decided to build a web client + integrated cloud terminal, simply because that allowed us to create an experience that is one-click away from an issue, and could be accessed from anywhere and any device (i.e. we’ve deeply optimized CW for mobile, and I do quite a bit of code thinking in that modality).

In the meantime, when you open a Codespace from Copilot Workspace, you could open that Codespace in VS Code desktop. And use that as a companion editor to the web client (since we bi-directionally sync file changes between them). But totally agreed that a more integrated VS Code experience will be compelling!
