Include with Visual Studio 2019 #15

This extension should really come preinstalled with Visual Studio 2019 (and 2017 if possible). It makes setting up a new environment so much easier. I also like the solution extensions feature. Any chance this will happen?

+1 on this. I've had to reimage my laptop twice recently and it'd be nice to have a way to reinstall of all of my extensions in one go.

You know you can always just download this extension from the VS marketplace with a script and then call the VSIXInstaller executable from your script that reimages the computer. That is what I do.

This extension now exports .vsext files with the Marketplace URL (in the JSON moreInfoUrl field) and Download URL (in the JSON downloadUrl field).

Therefore, you can suck this in, e.g., with Newtonsoft.Json and then simply download and install all your extensions upon reimage from a .vsext file previously exported.
