Sourcegraph (Amp Code) announced plans to shut down their VS Code extension
Kilo Code remains the leading VS Code extension, with over 700,000 downloads and regular updates since the day we launched
What happened
On February 5, the creators of Amp Code announced that their VS Code extension will self-destruct in 60 days or less.
Their reason: all development effort is being redirected to the CLI.
