I am a technical writer, and even when I'm not doing technical writing, I use VSCode for my writing, so a good word count is pretty essential to me.
If you search for word count, this is the first extension that shows. But it is missing some features that make it accurate, such as the ability to include/exclude code, comments, etc… And there are issues and PRs open that have never been acted on. I guess because this is mostly just an example repo.
I've wanted to update this for some time and make a really usable word count for VS Code. So I made a fork here (https://github.com/ChrisChinchilla/vscode-wordcount) that I intend to maintain and release properly. If anyone wants to move their contributions there, please do, and if this issue ends up bringing life back into this extension instead, then great!
