I LOVE VSCode. I love the built in terminal, built-in error checking, and built-in everything under the sun. My favorite plugin is probably bracket-colorizer, which color-codes matching brackets and parentheses so it's easy to see where that darn if statement actually ends.

Yep agree once I discovered it makes me wonder how I went so long without it a great plugin.

The integrated terminal is absolutely the killer features for me. Especially with ssh remoting.

I use quite a few formatters and other extensions, but the terminal is what won me over. It's fast enough that it doesn't slow me down and so nice in so many ways. I do miss the old non-tab ux though.

The fact that it works on Linux, Windows and Mac doesn't hurt either. I tend to use as much of the same told everywhere.
