Definitely agree with your point on improving our understanding of the inner workings of an IDE by building a plugin (or extension in VS Code term)
I can testify that building an extension for VS Code is made easy. They have good documentation, and man that type-hinting in VS Code because of Typescript is just helpful. Saves me big time and prevents me from falling too deep through a rabbit hole because of the nature of loosely type in Javascript. Although I've probably only scratched the surface of VS Code works.
Last weekend I made myself an extension called 'Hue'. An extension to control your Hue lights ad-hoc and through the file types that you are working on. Would love to get feedback :)
