ForceCode extension removed from vs code marketplace?

[talz13]

I was helping a teammate set up their vs code environment today and they couldn’t find the ForceCode extension to install. I looked and couldn’t find it, and searching the marketplace link just came up with a 404. Is this extension just gone, or is there some reason it is not showing up in the marketplace?

I have same problem, I could not find this ForceCode extension from VisualCode marketplace. I have to install it using the vsix file, as I don't know other VisualCode Extension that still support the old classic Metadata format.

Any idea whose Copyright that JohnAaronNelson offend on ForceCode?
Anyone find other plug-in option for accessing the old Salesforce metadata format? I know we should move, but, apparently, the release admin find it is not on their priority for now.
