What Visual Studio Code recommendations do you guys recommend for developing with ethereum? I am using the solidity [Extension](https://github.com/juanfranblanco/vscode-solidity) by Juan Blanco as well.

I find Juan Blanco’s extension a must if you are using VSCode for anything Ethereum. Apart from it, I also use:

- _EditorConfig for VS Code_ and _Prettier_ extensions for code formatting.
- _Mocha sidebar_ to run tests. Note that this one doesn’t work with Truffle, but I use it for dapps’ code and [Buidler](https://buidler.dev/) tests.

Juan Blanco’s extension is the only one I have installed currently on VSCode for developing Solidity.

The settings for use with OpenZeppelin are documented in the repository: [https://github.com/juanfranblanco/vscode-solidity#openzeppelin](https://github.com/juanfranblanco/vscode-solidity#openzeppelin)
