I've become equally paranoid about VSCode extensions. I remember using several other IDE's like Brackets, JetBrains, Sublime Text or Bluefish only having a few solid extensions to rely on to get my dev work done. Now it seems like anything you do, someone or some company has built an extension specifically for your task.

At this point I try and get the most done with the least amount of extensions period. That and trying to get the rest of my code off of Github is the other.
