First post to get the community going. Here’s the list of extensions that I personally use. Most are disabled globally and enabled per project. Feel free to ask questions, give me suggestions, etc.!

Edit: Thanks for the good idea on formatting @NostraDavid. I also converted my list to urls

code --list-extensions | ForEach-Object {" - [$_](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=$_)"}

    I made this list by:

    • running code --list-extensions in Powershell
    • put the output in a vscode tab
    • put OP’s output in a second tab
    • select OP’s tab first, under OPEN EDITORS in the sidebar
    • while holding shift, select the other tab
    • RMB the second tab -> Compare Selected
    • remove all duplicates in the right (my) tab
    • now to order everything, manually
    • put the mouse cursor on line 1, hold MMB and drag down to insert a bunch of extra cursors
    • press Home and insert [
    • press End and insert ](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=)
    • move the cursor back and select the extension names/IDs
    • press ctrl-c
    • move cursors to the end of the URL
    • ctrl-v

    I just wrote this, because most people seem to use vscode as if it’s notepad.exe with tabs, which makes me sad.
