Just a small correction:

>on Windows you need to download and update it manually

you don't need to update it manually, it will show a popup that an update is available and will update itself once approved.

It used to direct you to their website to manually download and install it. Given how often it is updated most people started ignoring those pop-ups.

Maybe that used to be the case? For at least the last few VS Code updates, it's been entirely in-app. The update is downloaded in the background, and VS Code then prompts you to restart the app to apply the update.
