I like the usual suspect Prettier, but recently I liked a lot this three:

  • Bracket Pair Colorizer 2 - since it helps a lot to identify quickly ending brackets.
  • Git Lens - to have extended visibility on Git history
  • PlanUML - as I am starting to do Documentation as Code.

Great. Based in my recent expercience, I like to keep minimalist with VS Code, and installing the minimum list of extensions possible.

I don't work with too many extensions really, but I do love Kite and Live Server.

Kite: docs on the go and snippets
Live server: local server with auto reload on code changes. It's really useful while working with html and css

Yeah.. Live server's auto reload feature is very helpful when designing web pages.
