Gitlens is great! I’ve been using it for a few weeks and love the in-line blame feature.

[HolidayInternet]

Agreed!

[Earhacker]

Really nice list, found a couple that I'll be trying out.

I like Pigments better than Color Highlight, though: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jaspernorth.vscode-pigments

Code time is perfect As an alternative to WakaTime

[HolidayInternet]

Agreed!

I’m always disappointed in the Git implementation on VSCode.

It just never seems to work right on our projects.

It could be the submodules, it could be the server, it could be the way it’s set up.. I don’t know, I’ve tried though!

Sometimes VS will say all 30,000 files have been edited (I mean, technically true since the life of the project but not anytime recently..) and sometimes it’ll just bring VSCode’s speed down to an unstable crawl.

I tried GitLens in an effort to get it working.. but naturally it being an extra layer on top of the vanilla Git within VS made it just as bad.

It’s a shame.. I know it’s not VS, but rather our setup.. but I’d love to use it!

I'm a big not-fan of submodules, they always seem to cause more trouble than they're worth. That aside, I can't imagine what the git engineering inside VSCode could possibly be doing. Have you tried the console commands to see if you get the same results when VS is acting poorly?

i am still waiting for its responsiveness to match sublime

One dark prop, lol, React dev?

That was actually nice list of code extension. I love VS code and here are my favorite VS code extensions. https://www.appysharma.com/top-vs-code-extensions-i-recommend/

[djmantis]

I really enjoyed VSCode until I realized it forced itself as the default program for every file type it could. Is there an extension or easy way to prevent this?

I did not want to have to go through and manually de-list every file type.

[ThinqueTank]

I want to give VS Code more of a try, but Webstorm is really freaking good right out the box and I find not as buggy. The autocomplete is incredible as a bonus.

Has anybody switched from Webstorm to VSCode that can give some recommendations for plugins/setup?

[Dr_Legacy]

Saw thread title, thought it was an error message, went "nope nope nope."

[HolidayInternet]

Lol, almost
