14 extensions that can enrich your daily VSTS usage

Using VSTS on a daily basis I find that I add a regular list of VSTS Marketplace extensions to my VSTS environment. I find them convenient and helping me to get the most out of VSTS. The list below is primarily focused on the Work and Code area and not so much on the Build and Release area. The list below, in random order, lists the extensions and adds a short description and provides a link to the VSTS Marketplace. Not all items are free at this point in time, or are currently in development.
