I LOVE VSCode. I love the built in terminal, built-in error checking, and built-in everything under the sun. My favorite plugin is probably bracket-colorizer, which color-codes matching brackets and parentheses so it's easy to see where that darn if statement actually ends.

The integrated terminal is absolutely the killer features for me. Especially with ssh remoting.

I use quite a few formatters and other extensions, but the terminal is what won me over. It's fast enough that it doesn't slow me down and so nice in so many ways. I do miss the old non-tab ux though.

The fact that it works on Linux, Windows and Mac doesn't hurt either. I tend to use as much of the same told everywhere.

Yep agree once I discovered it makes me wonder how I went so long without it a great plugin.
