Do folks here use VSCode to edit Racket code? If so, what extension do you prefer? I was using Magic Racket, and it seemed pretty good, but recently expand-selection stopped working (<https://github.com/Eugleo/magic-racket/issues/74|I filed this issue>) and that’s pretty brutal, so it’s making me consider alternatives.

I think quite a few racket devs on https://discord.gg/6Zq8sH5\|discord, https://racket.discourse.group/\|discourse and https://www.reddit.com/r/Racket/\|https://www.reddit.com/r/Racket/ use VSCode - though I think some use other plugins.

@niko you could try ask in those places too.

@niko I just noticed you logged that issue against an old(7.9) version of Racket. Does the bug happen with the current version? <https://download.racket-lang.org/|Racket version 8.4 is available.>

@niko You wrote you just upgraded racket - where did you source your upgrade ? (I’m assuming the package repo has not been updated in a while)

@niko I think magic racket is the only serious vscode extension

The short answer is that it’s not as actively maintained as other editors for Racket
