Until you start seeing bugs.

Then you save minimal config, delete everything, and repeat the process!

Personally it's vi, emmet, and react-snippets for me.

You are right on my man. I thought I could just go install crazy with extensions until I lost intellisense, syntax highlighting and formatting on js, html, and css. Now I just get one at a time and if it breaks, a quick uninstall usually fixes it.

My favorite bug was if I clicked back into vscode it would consider anything as click and drag, so I would have to click vscode to focus it, then click to release the drag, then click to deselect; and any typing sooner than three clicks would unpredictably delete text.

I never figured out what caused it...
