I just came across a simple yet awesome VS Code extension tonight care of Elijah Manor.
Basically it dims code that currently isn't selected. Here it is in action.
So what's an awesome VS Code extension you recently installed? 👨💻
P.S.: It's a bit out of date, but here's my VS Code setup for those interested.

VS Live Share! It's awesome.
Yes! Live Share is amazing!
Peacok -- it surprise with colored sidebars
This plugin has been such a revelation for me! It always drove me nuts to have multiple projects open and accidentally be in the wrong one. Especially during the period when I was porting my site from one framework to another and had both projects open. Too similar! I accidentally wrote in the wrong project way too often.
I hear that @john_papa knows a bit about VS Code and web dev. 😉
Meh. He’s ok.
That’s great to hear that you like it so much!
Enjoy!
Glad you like it!
Couldn't live without it!
VSCode Extension Peacock

I am an Angular developer from China.
Here are the Angular extensions which I installed, all of them are awesome.
The Code Spell Checker is helpful for Chinese developer, it can check the source code.
The last one is GitLens, I think you will love it after you install it.
Nice theme; first I heard about out. Yes, GitLens is helpful, especially if more than you touch the code.
I love winter is coming theme and prettier.
I am using nordic which is super cool
Using Shades of Purple theme, with Material Icon, looks awesome! ESLint, Vetur and Angular Snippets for the programming part.
🦄 Shades of Purple :) woohoo!
Didn't your theme hit like 1 million downloads or something with about 1/2 million installs? 💯👏
🎉🎉🎉 Yes. So happy about it. And my VSCode Power User course hit 5,000 devs. Both huge milestones for a full-time open source developer like me. :)
You did an awesome work on this theme!
That's very kind of you to say! 🙌
EasySass.. it's amazing.
I've been very tempted to switch to VS code from Atom🤔.
Sorry, very random.
do it. no brainer
Do it! Vs code starts up a gazillion years faster than atom😂
Like everyone else is saying, do it! I started with Atom, Switched to Sublime text, and finally landed on VS Code. The built in git integration, and the built in terminal are life savers.
The build in terminal brought me to VS code. There was an extension for that in atom, but it was so sluggish.
Do it. I can help! Shameless plug → VSCode.pro
Unless there is a specific Atom plugin you need that is not available for VSCode. it is more than worth the effort.
Ecosystem is better, & since MicroSoft bought GitHub, I would not be surprised if Atom is back-burnered.
What I imagined Atom being as a text editor from Github is what made me stick to Atom for so long. Last year I realized that VS Code is the one realizing that vision. The ecosystem, the features, the DX (Developer Experience), and the performance are all what I imagined Atom eventually becoming but Visual Studio Code got there faster.
