Introducing Essential Extensions

It’s been several years (and a few Visual Studio versions) since I last blogged about my favorite visual studio extensions and a lot has changed since then. This time around, rather than just listing my favorites, I decided to create some public Visual Studio Extensions that make it easy to get Visual Studio setup with all of the different extensions.
I’m officially introducing Essential Extensions, which are a set of extension packs to create the ultimate Visual Studio editor experience. These extension packs require Visual Studio 2017 Update 8 or newer.
Each extension pack in Essential Extensions has a different focus.
Essential Extensions (Core)
An extension pack to improve the core Visual Studio editing experience. Download it at the Visual Studio Marketplace or get the nightly build. See the changelog for changes and roadmap.
Essential Extensions (Web)
An extension pack to improve the Visual Studio editing experience for web development. Download it at the Visual Studio Marketplace or get the nightly build. See the changelog for changes and roadmap.
Essential Extensions (GitHub)
An extension pack to improve the Visual Studio experience for development using GitHub as the source control system. Download it at the Visual Studio Marketplace or get the nightly build. See the changelog for changes and roadmap.
