Upping the donation to $50 on crystal sounds good, thank you!

The situation hasn’t improved in the last months, [faustinoaq.crystal-lang](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=faustinoaq.crystal-lang) is still listed first with the most installs by far.
Has there been any luck reaching @faustinoaq?
Or did anyone try contacting the marketplace about putting that down, marking as outdated or whatever?
Another option might be a collective effort to leave a bunch of 1-star reviews on the old one…

Hi @straight-shoota Thank you for your message, I have hard times like everyone last year, trying to recover this year. Checking my apps in my new phone I saw this notification. Let’s check what I have undone and put things ready. I apologize to the crystal community for the time I leave. First let me unpublish my old vscode extension and try to get a new one working with latest vscode and crystal features 🙂

Hi Crystal community. The old extension is already unpublished
I also left a comment and 5 star review in the new official vscode extension. Checking the issues and see in what can I collaborate 😄
Thank you very much to @Acciaiodigitale for all you contributions and keeping the vscode extension alive!!!

@faustinoaq Thanks!
@straight-shoota I contacted also the other plugin owner and everyone says he’s removing the extensions, but for now nothing happens.

Hey Faustino, great to hear from you! Hope you’re doing well.
Maybe you could add a link to [Crystal Language - Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=crystal-lang-tools.crystal-lang) in the description to guide users to the new plugin?

@all Leaving 5-star reviews on the new plugin would probably help push it up.
