What? I am using it in parallel to writing this comment. Without DevKit just plain C# extension (but newer Roslyn LSP).

With or without the features that require VS Professional licence?

Commercial license is not required for the plain C# extension, which is distributed under a custom license for extension install[0] and under MIT for source code[1].

The features of DevKit (which is uninstalled on my system) are as follows[2]:

- VS-style solution explorer

- VS-style test explorer

- Intellicode (extra extension that integrates with DevKit)

I don't have use for any of these, preferring folder style navigation and CMD+T/P/etc., and GitHub Copilot autocomplete does way better job for any text than Intellicode. The "intellisense" VS calls it is just a base autocomplete feature in VSC that works for any language provided it has a back-end that integrates through LSP.
