I started with Brackets and it was a good editor[.](https://www.essayontime.com/) Later I switched to Atom and found it more convenient to me, but now I am using VS Code and I like it!

I just verified that Prettier is working correctly to format Hugo templates, including Go functions.  
Installed as JsPrettier Plugin in Sublime Text version 4 (recently released).

Still can’t get it to work in VS Code. ☹

Does that include if/else with/else constructs?

And yes, it is coming. 👍
