Top plugins for VS Code
1. Prettier
Prettier is an opinionated code formatter. It enforces a consistent style by parsing your code and re-printing it with its own rules that take the maximum line length into account, wrapping code when necessary.

2. TODO Highlight
Highlight TODO, FIXME and other annotations within your code.
Sometimes you forget to review the TODOs you’ve added while coding before you publish the code to production. So I’ve been wanting an extension for a long time that highlights them and reminds me that there are notes or things not done yet.
3. Quokka
Quokka.js is a rapid prototyping playground in your editor, with access to your project’s files, inline reporting, code coverage and rich output formatting. Runtime values are updated and displayed in your IDE next to your code, as you type.
4. Git Lens
GitLens supercharges the Git capabilities built into Visual Studio Code. It helps you to visualize code authorship at a glance via Git blame annotations and code lens, seamlessly navigate and explore Git repositories, gain valuable insights via powerful comparison commands, and so much more.
5. Bracket Pair Colorizer
This extension allows matching brackets to be identified with colours. The user can define which characters to match, and which colours to use.
6. Indent Rainbow
This extension colorizes the indentation in front of your text alternating four different colors on each step. Some may find it helpful in writing code for Nim or Python.
7. Auto Rename Tag
Need to rename an element in HTML? Well, with Auto Rename Tag, you just need to rename either the opening or closing tag, and the other will be renamed automatically. Simple, but effective!
8. Polacode
You know those fancy code screenshots you see in articles and tweets? Well, most likely they came from Polacode. It’s super simple to use. Copy a piece of code to your clipboard, open up the extension, paste the code, and click to save your image!
