Teams cannot enforce consistent development environments across projects without manual extension management
Development teams waste time manually configuring VSCode extensions for each project and workspace, leading to inconsistent setups, onboarding friction, and productivity loss. Current solutions require developers to manually enable/disable extensions or use fragile workarounds, making it impossible to version-control extension configurations alongside code. Teams need a declarative, config-file-based way to enforce which extensions are active per workspace to ensure consistency and reduce setup overhead.
