I really hope it's free too. Otherwise it makes no sense. As a customer paying for full IDE(Rider) I won't kneecap myself by paying for vscode alternative, even though I really hate working in vscode. If they make it free, they could get a big chunk of the market, especially if they actually provide it with IntelliJ level of autocomplete, refactorings, multicursor support etc. They have quite a lot of money from regular IDEs, if they can release this for free and monetize cloud support, I think they'll be fine. It probably won't take away money from fully fledged IDE users anyway, but I'd love to have IntelliJ-vscode alternative.
