Discussion on: What are your favorite VS Code extensions and why?

GitHub Pull Request - It helps me see how the changes fit with the rest of the code. And, of course, reviewing and managing PRs.
GitLens - There are so many good stuff about this extension! I especially like all the "meta" info added to each file like who made the last change, what it was, having a direct link to a commit, etc.
Project Manager - Helps me manage projects. I think VS Code has something similar build-in by now (or am I mistaken?) but never gave it a try. This extension is quite handy.
Prettier - Formats the code for me. There are cases where I don't like a particular formatting but it's fine 99% of the time.
TSLint - Helps me have a somewhat consistent and stupid-errors-free codebase.
Night Owl - The dark theme is the best.
Angular Snippets - Like it for all the snippets it provides, so I can quickly move to actually doing something productive.
CSS Flexbox Cheatsheet - Like it because it lets me open a flexbox cheatsheet on the side so I can look up properties and their values. (Disclosure: I built this extension).

Thanks for sharing this comprehensive list Dzhavat 👍 I had not heard of the Project Manager or CSS Flexbox Cheatsheet extensions before and am checking them out now.
