Part of the strength of open source is that there are gratuitous alternatives. The point of this article isn't to deter anyone from using Microsoft's build, it's only to clarify that VSCode, as released by Microsoft, does not carry an OSI-approved license, and does have telemetry and some proprietary bits of extensions. If you're looking for an alternative, this article (and many of the comments) list several. If not, you're free to use whatever you please. I'd be disappointed in open source if there wasn't that flexibility.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
