Visual studio code is open source. So is the new windows terminal.

Yes. And not the “eh” open source MS-PL, but actual MIT.

I was talking about "visual studio", not "visual studio code".

Wait, what kind of logic is that?

Why does an extension need to be open source for a program to be called open source?

If someone writes a closed source plugin for LibreOffice or GIMP, does that mean they aren't open source?
