Yes, this, as I understand, appeared relatively recently. In the old-fashioned way, people simply install the auto rename tag extension, I also could not help but include it in the list.

Why still people uses Auto Rename Tags / Auto imports, vscode already provides this, just search import and rename in settings then manually search foe those settings

I know extentions are easy fix for this but don't forget they come with cost of some memory, while Auto rename, auto closing tag extention don't work always in bg, but extentions like, auto import tag always works in behind and may cause some memory issues take more loading time.

Thanks! There's a lot more that I've used all the time. It will also be necessary later, maybe to take out separate topics, or just increase it to 30.
