VS Code extensions let you add languages, debuggers, and tools to your installation to support your development workflow.
Some of my favs include Settings Sync, Prettier, ESLint, Bracket Pair Colorizer, Code Spell Checker, Better Comments, Path Intellisense, Live Server, ES7, React, Redux & GraphQL Snippets, GitLens, Markdown All in One.
Curious to see what are your favorites?

I found one really cool vscode theme named
Jellyfish-x-retroššDo checkout: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...
I like the ones you use!
I also use TODO Highlight, CodeSnap, DotENV, Import Cost and Spell Right. These are more utility extensions but can be very helpful.
The most important right now: Remote Containers
I use quite a few of the extensions you mentioned. One of my favourite not listed is REST Client. Make API requests right from VS Code rather than using an external API client š
I usually use Postman for this, and yeah, sometimes get tired of switching screens or splitting the view šš
Gremlins tracker for Visual Studio Code, has come in handy, especially if you've pasted code snippets with smart quotes, or similar "smart" formatting.
It recently helped me debug a problem with content on a site that had various zero-width and non-breaking space characters that was causing problems.
Great time-saving extensions if you are used to working a lot with Markdown:
Grammarly for VS Code? š® Been using Code Spell Checker all the time, time to check it out š

GlassUIandMarkdown All In One.Other than all the normal extensions for the long list of languages I use, my favorite is
GlassUIand like you saidMarkdown All In One. I watch lots of videos (that I don't have to pay too much attention too) while coding and can glance throughVSCODEif I want to see what someone is talking about. I have the luxury of being a so-called "hobbyist" so I don't have deadlines to meet lol.Markdownis just awesomely one of the best extensions there. Especially the auto generation of Table of contents.Almost all of the other extensions are more of a slight convenience for which I can take or leave as I tend to usually write my own types of automation scripts or bins that essentially do the same thing and I only end up using other people's extensions until I get around to writing my own. I do use the
TODOextension in VSCODE, but again, I can take it or leave it because I've written several of my own "TODO" programs in various environments and langauges.Having said that; I only use
GlassUIin Linux because in Windows I have written my own universal sort of version of transparent windows in AutoHotkey; for which, I have script and compiled bins (as compiled as AHK can get lol).GitHub Pull Requests and Issues
Insert GUID
I mostly use those you mention.
I also use Code Time and Waka Time for tracking my time on each project.
I use Waka time too, great for tracking the time you spend coding š
I think I have a lot for different scenarios.

Exactly, if you dive into the specifics, the choice of extensions heavily depends š
Tho there are still some extensions that apply to every dev, regardless of the niche š
FTP Workspace and Live Sass Compiler
Great discussion! š
I recently wrote a post about my top 8 VS Code Extensions for Laravel!
Besides many of the ones you already mentioned i really like themes like Moonlight2, Nigth Owl and Dracula. If any of you know other cool themes i would really like to hear them!
All three are nice, I can confirm that too š
Tho, I've also been a fan of Atom UI, so currently I use One Dark Pro šØ
