Besides being absolutely free, one of my most favorite feature when it comes to VS Code as an IDE is the flexibility and extensibility it provides no matter the programming language of your choice. You literally have an array of productivity tools at your fingertips via the extensions tab.

Sometimes though, you might want something that is very specific to your coding style or to your company’s coding convention and you might struggle in finding just the right package that can satisfy that needs.

This is where having your user defined snippets can become very handy, and VS Code makes it really easy to create them.
