Is it okay to use some extensions instead of all the extensions in the Salesforce Extension Pack for VSCode ?

Hi,

I am new to Salesforce Apex Development and am working in VSCode by connecting it to a Sandbox Org. 

I had installed the salesforce extension pack from the extensions. But, sometimes I get notification saying the one extension is taking a lot of time and is causing issues and the whole vscode gets stuck for sometime. So, I though to uninstall some extensions related to Aura and Lightining because currently I am working on the Apex Classes alone.

Is it Okay to use like that? Will that cause an issue ?

If that is the case, Can you help me suggesting the must have extensions in the extension pack considering only Apext classes, Apex test Classes and debugging ?

Hi Vishnu,

You might need to consider going through the system requirements to run VSCode on your machine smoothly.

Reference:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/requirements

For specific to extensions, below documentation would help you to guide about recommeded extensions while working on Salesforce projects.

https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/vscode/en/getting-started/recommended-extensions

Although, there are many extensions available in VSCode to facilitate great experience while working on projects.The usage of those would depend on your flexibility and system compatibility.

Hope above information helps, Please mark as Best Answer so that it can help others in the future.

Thanks.
