Best IDE setup for VSCode?

Hi everyone!

I’m wondering what the community would recommend as the best IDE toolchain (in VSCode) available today. I’m talking about stable and battle-tested extensions.

I work on a relatively small personal LiveView project and I’ve recently realized that my productivity is low, mainly due to the large number of basic manual tasks. Then I thought back to the dev experience I had 15 years ago when I worked using C# in Visual Studio. Already back then, I had an abundance of such features as automated refactoring (renaming, method and property extraction, missing method creation, etc.), lots of useful snippets etc.

In comparison, the extensions I use for my Elixir work today (ElixirLS and Heex HTML) are really quite basic: syntax highlighting, autocomplete (but not for custom atoms which is a pity). The snippet library is quite weak as well.

Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Michal
