Not sure how often I'll use this in day-to-day coding. Just don't find myself encountering that many of these types of issues on a daily basis.

However, I am 100% for sure going to break this out when it comes time to do Advent of Code this year. Always spend tons of times debugging code where this will be awesome.

Advent of Code really might be a great use-case for this extension!

Anyways, I think the table, the plain text and the planned text-diff visualizer might be handy for day-to-day debugging, as they fix some issues with the watch window in VS Code (mainly displaying multiline-strings and lists of homogeneous objects or just being able to update the watched expression with a shortcut).

I'm both excited and saddened by the fact that AoC is getting close! Time flies...
