Thanks for this article. Since long I had been meaning to write about my vscode setup. I have been using most of the extensions you mentioned here.

Adding to this list:

Bookmarks (alefragnani.bookmarks): Add bookmarks within a file to navigate easily.
Change case (wmaurer.change-case): Easily change case for you function names, variables etc.
Color Highlight (naumovs.color-highlight): Highlights colors in your style files
Peacock (johnpapa.vscode-peacock): If you have multiple vscode windows open, this helps distinguish between them
snippet-creator (nikitakunevich.snippet-creator): if you type a particular line/code over and over again, you can create a snippet out of it using this
Tabnine Autocomplete AI: as it says, brings AI power to your code. It learns your coding style and auto-suggests as you type on.

VS Code: You don't need that extension

Live Server is deprecated, try HQ Live Server instead marketplace.visualstudio.com/items... it supports popular frameworks with no configuration required.
