As a non-JS dev, it is kinda boring update for me this time. But I am excited when looking at the preview updates, such as the new settings editor and grid layout.

I hope the new UI for settings would also applies to extension settings. It is quite cumbersome to set up extension at the begining.

Does anyone has the same issue when VSCode is a bit agressive, adding closing brackets, or closing “” when it’s not really necessary (because it’s already closed or something)?

Yes, sometimes when editing existing text (as opposed to writing new lines sequentially.

OTOH, I have had that same issue occasionally with every editor that auto-closes that kind of element, haven't you?

I assume there's a performance tradeoff you have to make there, around how much parsing you want to do on every one of those keystrokes (including the weird-and-fuzzy kind of analysis required for code that is being typed and perhaps isn't yet in a valid state).

I wonder what's the best way to solve this, apart disable it.

Such a great release! Lot of improvements for JS/TS, a new outline view and the grid editor layout.
