Plugins are nice to but I try to stick with ones that stick around πŸ˜‚

For example "CSS peek" is apparently no longer on the marketplace.

And installing too many extension can result into less productivity :)
Stick with the really good ones.

Hello. The Auto Rename Tag extension is, I think, no more needed. VSCode can do this natively; see the "editor.renameOnType":true setting.

34?!

Yikes just get a JetBrains IDE or use Visual Studio Community at that point. That’s a lotta bloat.
