Thank you for the application, @bytemaster333. I have two follow-up questions:

1. Are 4,295+ installs "significant interest"? Over what time period are these installs and how does that compare to other vscode plugins?
2. Why do you think the previous plugins were abandoned? Given that there is little money in that market, I'm curious how you see your chances of the community supporting this project long-term.
