I'm very impressed with this extension, the vs code extension, PiecesOS, and the Pieces for Developers software. They are easy to use, convenient, reliable and powerful. They also have a great team that took the time to get on a video call with me to help me out with some questions that I had, and showed me some things that I didn't know I could do. They are very friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. I highly recommend them. 5 stars all the way!
