Those are quite the same popular recommenations from the covid era or earlier.
One extension have been even abandoned and not working good enough for a few years now, unless you do some workarounds.
Is this article AI generated? By the 2024 suffix, it seems like it.
If not, then it would be nice to know your opinions for each of them.

Title says "8 Essential VS Code Extensions [2024]".
Essential is for everyone.
Doesn't say "8 new VS Code Extensions [2024]" or "new VS Code Extensions for xperienced users [2024]"
So the title's right for the article, and your comment is egocentric: you want everything to be for experienced readers only...

The Beautify code extension is deprecated and is not being maintained anymore. Please remove it from your list.

How are these 8 essential extensions when there's 2 deprecated ones?? There are outdated extensions, and the settings sync have been merged into VSCode's main features a long time ago. Whats going on?
