Discussion on: What are your favorite VS Code extensions and why?

[Braden Watkins]

My favorite language-agnostic extensions

• dark-plus-syntax- Current theme
• GitLens - Enough said
• Output Colorizer Syntax highlighting for log files
• Path Autocomplete - Best path complete extension I've found so far
• Prettier - To format all the things
• Settings Sync - Makes setting up VSCode on a new workspace a breeze.
• Snippet Creator - Best snippet creator I've found
• Sort Lines - Comes in surprisingly handy
• Spell Checker - No more spelling mistakes
• VSCode Simpler Icons - Favorite icon set so far

Shameless plug: These are all grouped together into my language agnostic extension pack: Essentials

Others that I'm test driving, but I'm not sold on yet include:

• Better Comments - Syntax highlighting for different kinds of comments
• Gist - Create, open and edit gists
• jumpy - Fast cursor movement based on a similar package in Atom
• Partial Diff - Diff two bits of text right in VSCode
• Peacock - Workspace organization
• REST Client - HTTP REST Client right in VSCode

Glad you like Peacock, thanks :)
