OpenVSX Alternatives

Since Cursor is using Open VSX Registry now, I want to know the OpenVSX Alternatives to popular VSCode extensions like Jupyter, Pylance, etc. that are well maintained.

PS.
I know there are popular extension like jupyter on OpenVSX but they are not up to date with their VSCode marketplace counterparts.

For anyone who drops by this thread, you can try installing VSIX from VSIX Downloader - Download Visual Studio Code Extensions | Free Online Tool

And then in cursor you can install these downloaded extensions by, Ctrl+Shift+PExtensions: Install from VSIX...

Cursor 2.1 will allow you to upgrade to the latest versions of extensions. Earlier versions of Cursor were pinned to an older version of the VSCode extensions API. This effectively hid more recent versions of extensions that required a newer VSCode API version.
