Salesforce Extension Pack
By Salesforce
What It Does
Official VS Code extension pack from Salesforce. Apex language support, SOQL builder, LWC support, org browser, and deployment tools.
Glen's Take
Non-negotiable. This is the foundation of modern Salesforce development. The Apex language server gives you autocomplete, go-to-definition, and inline errors. The org browser lets you pull metadata without touching the command line. Install this first, configure everything else around it.
