I really like this already. Is it possible to extend Visual Studio Code?
Yes you can. The features Visual Studio Code includes out-of-the-box are just the beginning. VS Code extensions let you add languages, debuggers, and tools to your installation to support your development workflow. VS Code's rich extension model allows extension authors to plug directly into the VS Code user interface and add functionality through the same APIs used by VS Code. This topic explains how to find, install, and manage VS Code extensions through the Visual Studio Code MarketPlace.
