We have also witnessed the features of many great extensions being baked in, like Emmet, for example.

Some of the best extensions I use to increase productivity include: TabNine, Prettier and Bracket Pair Colorizer.

For themes, Dracula has to be my favourite, dark theme but still colorful, lovely on the eyes !

For extensions, Tabnine is starting to feel like a must have, AI powered autocompletion that predicts the code you'll type based on your project and the analysis of other projects.

We are very happy to hear that you're enjoying Tabnine, Alex!

Here a few of my favorites

Github Theme A very simple dark theme
Live Server A fast and easy way to test local files
MongoDB for VSCode A cool way to see what is in your DB, connects via connection string.

Always loved the UI of GitHub, tho Atom dark theme is still my fav.. I see you focus on MERN stack so the last one would be really handy 😉
Thanks for sharing these 👍😉

I don't remember using Atom dark, I'll have to give it a go. The last extension was great when I was focusing on the MERN stack, but I am now using the JAMStack and am loving it!
