wtf is vsc-ember-cli?

This is a plugin for Visual Studio Code that brings Ember framework development directly into your editor. Instead of constantly switching between your code and a terminal window to run commands, you can trigger all the common Ember operations, like generating new components, running tests, or building your app, right from Code's command menu. When you install the extension and open a project that uses Ember, it automatically sets up your editor to understand Ember's code structure. It does this by creating a configuration file that tells VS Code how to properly recognize ES6 modules and Ember-specific syntax. The extension also provides code suggestions (called IntelliSense) as you type, so you'll see hints for Ember methods and properties without having to look them up. The real convenience comes from the command palette, you press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P, type what you want to do, and the extension runs it for you. Need to generate a new component? There's a command for that. Want to start a development server with live reloading? There's a command for that too. The extension also includes code snippets, which are little templates that expand when you start typing common patterns, saving you from typing boilerplate repeatedly. If your Ember project lives in a subfolder rather than the root of your workspace, you just create a simple configuration file to tell the extension where to find it. The extension is lightweight, it doesn't actually include Ember itself, but rather orchestrates your existing Ember installation, so it relies on your system being properly set up with Node and Ember already installed. If something goes wrong, you can turn on debug mode to see exactly what commands are being run behind the scenes.
