Integrated VSCode in the Replit Editor

Describe your feature request
I would love it if there were to be Visual Studio Code integrated in somw way to the replit editor. If you have ever checked out CodingRooms, you may have seen how easy it is to get vscode in their ide.

What problem(s) would this feature solve?
This would solve two things. First off, the trouble of porting extensions to the replit editor, you can just use the vscode extensions in the editor. Second off, it solves the problem with new coders getting used to using the editor.

Explain what you were trying to do when you came across the problem leading to this feature request
Trying to run code-server on replit…

Hi @pxlmastrXD thanks for your suggestion.

Have you tried the steps outlined in this thread? Using Visual Studio Code on Replit?

To be honest if you are trying to run a desktop IDE from within a web-based IDE it’s probably going to run really slowly. Have you considered linking your desktop install of VSCode to Replit via the SSH option?
