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 {" - [$_](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=$_)"}

Let me add to the list, without the duplicates (by using vscode file compare, of course!)

Ordered by personal importance:

[–] NostraDavid 6 points 2 years ago

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.

So Markdown Mermaid looks awesome. How do you like it? Easy to setup and use?

I've been using Terrastruct.d2 for this. But it requires having d2 installed locally. Otherwise, it's nice enough. Not good enough for me to use frequently or promote.

Mermaid is great - setup is just "install the addon" and use

```mermaid <--mermaid stuff--> ```
