Monthly figures for AI coding extensions on the VS Code Marketplace — GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, Cline, Gemini — covering installs and update downloads, each against non-AI controls, plus how many extensions the Marketplace lists in its AI category and a derived AI share. History before July 2026 is reconstructed from archived Marketplace pages.
These are update downloads, not users — one user downloads many updates. We started to count on 2026-07-19.
