Extensions are imporant to give you full support for a given language which essentially turns VSCode from a text editor into an IDE for said language. The rest of it is small modifications, cosmetic changes and convenience.

I think a major selling point of vscode is that it can productively edit anything. Your project happens to include some secondary languages like markdown, yaml or css? No problem. Same for polyglot developers or codebases. This way you never run into the limits of a language-specialised IDE.
