Back in October, I decided I was going to “force” myself to use Visual Studio Code as my only editor instead of Atom (to be clear, I also continu...

Damn I love posts like this. Out of curiosity, why is "Open in GitTower" a vscode extension? Seems like it doesn't really have much to do with vscode directly. Is it just because installing an extension is a simple approach or am I missing something?
Well, for me at least, I might be working on a git project in VS Code, and then realize that I need something with a bit more "oomph" than the git GUI in Code...so I can just open the Command Palette and choose "Open in GitTower" to open that repo in Tower.
Granted, if I have the Terminal open, I can just type in
tower .and get the same effect...Ooooh I actually completely misread what its functionality was. Carry on 🙃
Thanks for these!
The extensions I can't do without:
Angular Essentials - Collection of extentions for Angular development.
Prettier - Formatting.
Settings Sync - Saves editor's settings to a GitHub gist.
I've been toying withs witching from Atom to VS Code just for kicks, and if that Brackets extension does what I think it does, I am pretty much already sold! I wonder if I can find a Portable version of it (for class).......
I feel like Microsoft is doing great work with this and I trust that VS Code will keep impressing in the future.
Definitely getting some of those first thing tomorrow morning!
Oooh, I'm definitely grabbing that brackets extension!
I'm a huge fan of the Angular extensions - template intellisense, code analysis before transpile; it's all gold.
I've also created an extension to pretty up my formatting some, if anyone is interested:

Oh wow! Your extension looks AWESOME.
Nice list Matt. Markdown PDF looks great. For the git extensions, I'd recommend the git extension pack, marketplace.visualstudio.com/items.... I believe it contains all the git extensions you mention. Extension packs became available earlier this year. I can't remember when though. Also, the Node extension pack is solid too.
I should probably convert my gist of my VS Code setup to an article on dev.to. Here it is if you're interested, vscode.iamdeveloper.com.
Hey Nick - your link to your gist worked yesterday, but I'm getting a 404 today :(
Yeah, my bad. I moved my blog over to Netlify from now.sh but my redirects are not working. I'll get it sorted out today. For now I converted it to a post on my blog, iamdeveloper.com/my-visual-studio-... . I'll post it on dev.to at some point... just don't want to steal your thunder for the moment. ⚡ 😉
Matt, the redirects are working again.
Not a fan of having to supply my Github password for the gist extension. I tried just entering the token under "gist.oauthtoken" in my settings, but was still prompted to enter my Github username & password.
I also use the settings sync extension, which would mean that my Gist posting key would end up in a private gist. Private gists are not really secure (anyone with the link can view), so that's a bit of a security concern (anyone who saw my VS code settings gist would then get the ability to post gists on my behalf).
Thanks for the list, the Bracket Colorizer and Wakatime are gold. On a side note, I recently had to uninstall: Intellisense for CSS Class Names. It was breaking Emmet. :/
Git Lens is a world of wonder. Thank you!
Dan Tuppeny made probably the best Dart extension. Loving using Visual Studio Code for code!
Nice list!
For anyone using VSCode for PHP development this series made VSCode so much more user friendly for me!
