In fact, I missed this stuff so much that sometimes I'd just fire up Visual Studio with an HTML editor open, just to expand HTML snippets I need, and then paste them back into VS Code or Rider. With snippets this stuff auto-fills and with a few keystrokes customizes my specific use case which saves me tons of time every day.

Over the many years of using Visual Studio, I've accumulated 130+ code snippets and when I'm working in other environments I really miss them, especially the HTML ones for long blocks that are painful to look up on doc sites and then customize. Two tools in particular: Visual Studio Code and JetBrains Rider.

Over the last couple of years I have been more and more using other tools in combination with Visual Studio. There are few others for JavaScript, XAML and even some Powershell ones.

I have quite a few C# code snippets, but even more I use the HTML snippets for things like my Bootstrap customized snippets, snippets for complex HTML controls and the like. Visual Studio has very nice Code Snippet facility built into it and over the years I've been using it to create a ton of useful expansion snippets that make my day to day development easier.
