There are still people happily using XEmacs and it's not like the pace of development was breakneck for GNU Emacs itself or of upstream vim until there was neovim to compete with.
I'm sure VSCodium could survive as an editor even if Microsoft got bored. There's certainly at least enough community support to port it to newer OSes and maintain stuff like OpenVSX
I guess we'll see, lets hope we're alive and in the industry long enough to see the outcome. I'm very hesitant to trust any corporate sponsored product to continue after the company has lost interest.
