Planned Deprecation: VS 2022 Extension

[gfs]

Hi Folks,

We're planning on deprecating the Visual Studio 2022 Extension and to direct users to use DevSkim though one of the other mechanisms for operation.

We do plan to continue support for all the other ways we currently provide a wrapper for DevSkim, including the VS Code Extension, CLI, GitHub Action and Library.

Please leave feedback here about this proposed change.

Thanks,
Gabe

Very disappointed to hear that. Why is it being deprecated for your top tier and most feature-rich editor? VisualStudio is expensive but far preferable to VS Code IMO. This means to gain the benefit of DevSkim, I have to either massively downgrade my developer experience by moving to an inferior app (VS Code) - or completely remove the in-editor experience by moving to the command-line or GHA? I pay for VisualStudio to have a feature rich editor with these kind of tools.

Please reconsider!

What??? I've just installed this extension and it doesn't work. Now I read that it's planned to be deprecated. But it doesn't work as an extension, nor as an Nuget package at all in VS :|

If you are having issue incorporating the Nuget package into a C# project please open a separate issue to discsus as that's unexpected and not related to this announcement. I would not expect that to be the case as both the CLI and VS Code extensions are working for me and directly leverage the DevSkim library package that is also shipped as a nuget for external users.
