What are some best VSCode extension and why?

When I need to use VSCode, I use the Github, npm Intellisense, Prettier, EditorConfig, ESLint, Jest, Gitlens extensions just to make daily work (web dev) easier.

This brings it more or less into feature parity with out-of-the-box Webstorm, my usual IDE (which just has more plugins built-in and activated by default). For mixed-IDE teams, EditorConfig is a must because it lets you share repo & code formatting settings across individual devs without every commit messing up each other's settings.

editorconfig.editorconfig: an addon that helps setting standards, regardless of the editor. miku3920.vscode-render-special-chars: helps against hidden chars and wrong lineendings.

I work mostly in python with some frontend sprinkled in. My extension list consists of: Volar, Pylance, Live Preview, autoDocstring, autopep8

Better Comments, love it.

Live Preview is pretty great too.
