The author of the "Material Theme" and "Material Icon Theme" for Visual Studio Code, has just pulled the dirtiest move I've ever seen from an extension developer.

With the latest "update" they pulled all previous versions, changed the name & licence, blocked all feedback/comments and made the theme "paid".

It's since been reviewed-bombed from nearly 5, to barely 1.5 stars, but after it been FOSS for nearly a decade I'm unsure what else they expected.

Needed to rename a test fixture in a #Python file, and find/replace wasn't up for the job. So I decided to give #VSCode a go:

I started by pressing Ctrl+F2, for "Change All Occurrences". I think that is basically find/replace, and hence didn't do what I wanted.

Instead, I installed the recommended Python extension, and pressed F2 for "Rename Symbol". That claims to have only made one change, and the references to the function are still using the old name.

So, consider me confused. I'm using #pytest, whereby the test fixtures are referenced as function arguments rather than being called directly. Maybe that's what VS Code is struggling with? Either way, I've now spent more time on this than just manually editing the text.
