"Prettier" is a must have for me, not having to deal with formatting code manually probably saves me several hours a week.

"Code spell checker" is another key extension, especially when writing user visible text.

"Indent Rainbow" and "Rainbow Brackets" are extremely useful for parsing complexly nested sections.

"Comment anchors" is a huge step up for those TODO comments we all leave. They are color coded, can be navigated directly to via an extension page, and show up on the scroll bar. I frequently use this to mark my path as I'm hunting for an elusive bug or building a complex feature.

For sure Prettier has saved me a ton of time but there have also been times I've felt like I'm in battle with it haha.

I'm gonna check out the comment anchors as that sounds like a nice addition. Thanks for sharing 👍
