VS Code is probably the most popular code editor out there. The reasons are numerous. It is user friendly and reliable right out of the box. VS Code offers a plethora of extensions to make VS Code even more of a joy to work with. These are some of my favorites.

Draw.io Integration- Most devs know about Draw.io. You go to the site and you can draw out a visual representation of a project’s models. With this extension it is integrated right into your project folder and is never too far away.

ES7 React/Redux/GraphQL/React-Native Snippets-These are basically some keyboard shortcuts to use when working in the React environment. But it definitely helps save on the fingers.

Indent Rainbow-This is a huge helpful when I am trying to keep my indents clean. It makes for lining everything up just right.

Rainbow Brackets-I have a bad habit of moving chunks of code around towards the end of the project for styling purposes and what not. And sometimes I lose where one bracket ends and another pair begins. This helps me keep track of what goes where.
