Description
Edited by @aminya
### Background
Just to clarify all the features (autocomplete, data tips, signature help, outline, diagnostics, etc) except a few (Eslint) come from Typescript.
Disabling Typescript means disabling all the features. This the same for all the other IDEs (e.g. VsCode). JavaScript without Typescript almost has no IDE capabilities.
### TODO
With that being said, we can do the following to make the features more customizable:
- Providing an option for disabling the suggestion for installation of the `@types` package. To compensate for the lack of @types, I need to implement a feature that automatically installs @types (e.g. @types/node). This will fix #4 as well.
- Hiding TypeScript version/project/etc from StatusBar making them a unified icon reusable for all the languages. I think a unified status bar icon (which supports all the languages) instead of multiple icons that take space would be more useful.
- Providing a higher priority for personal snippets
