Description

  • Windows 10
  • ext v1.4.0

Describe the bug:

Installing edge tools forces me to use WebHints. Eventually, I'll figure out how to stop annoying me by constantly warning me if I say "removeComments" false, but for now, I have to disable edge tools

Repro steps:
Install edge tools

find out that it is warning me that I don't have removeComments in my tsconfig and if I do add it, it warns me if I set it to false.

Expected behavior:
For it to mind it's own damn business and if not, give me a simple way to tell it to stop bothering me.

Additional context:
The byproduct of installing EdgeTools must not be a blizzard of annoying messages based on someone's notion of what code should look like. It could ask politely and I say, go away kid, it should go away.

I tried to keep this toned down but wreaking havoc on my code without simple remedies inline is a terrible imposition and (to use a very very mild word) impolite.
