Visual Studio Code just keeps getting better - with extensions

I've been a fan of Visual Studio Code (the free code editor) since it was released. But even though it continues to update itself as I use it, I didn't really grok how much cool stuff has been going on under the hood.

As of this writing. VSCode is on version 1.7.1. Here's the highlights of this new version:

• Horizontal layout - Organize your editors in either vertical or horizontal groups.
• Keyboard Shortcuts Reference - New printable keyboard shortcuts PDF cheat sheet.
• CSS autocompletion within HTML - Get rich auto completions for CSS embedded in your HTML.
• Debug hit count control - Set breakpoint hit count conditions.
• Simplified Node.js debugging - Easily configure your Node.js debugging sessions.
• Keymaps for Sublime and Atom - You can now use these well-known keyboard shortcuts in VS Code.
• Disable extensions - Quickly disable an Extension globally or for a specific workspace.
• Improved TypeScript and JavaScript Grammar - The Dark+ themes now colorize variable and function references.
• Extension Packs - View dependencies of an extension pack right in the extension details.

But the REAL star and the REAL magic in VS Code - IMHO - is the growing VS Code Extension Gallery/Marketplace. Go check it out, but here's just a taste of the cool stuff that plugs nicely into Visual Studio Code.
