one of the most impressive parts of VS Code is customizability, especially via extenstions. If you are new to Web development, you won't be able to live without installing these extensions!
I use these extensions every day and hope you love it too!
1. Javascript (ES6) Code Snippets

I loooove snippet extensions. I strongly believe that there's no need to retype the same piece of code over and over again(not worth my time). This extensions provides you with snippets for popular pieces of modern (ES6) JavaScript code.
Side note...if you're not using ES6 JavaScript features, you should be!
2. Live Server

Make changes in VS Code, switch to browser and refresh to see changes. That's the endless cycle of a developer, but what if your browser would automatically refresh anytime you make changes? That's where Live Server comes in
