ms-vscode.cmake-tools was also added to customizations - vscode - extensions. Does it make sense to add it to recommendations as well?

Afaik the customization options in devcontainer.json only apply inside the dev container and have no effect when not using one.

Ah, I completely missed that you were not adding new plugins to the devcontainer... yes, that's fine then :)

I'm using sonarsource.sonarlint-vscode here, though I don't know if that's a good candidate for be added for everyone.

Could be useful, but that's a pretty heavy extension. They're only recommendations though, so it's up to personal choice whether to use them or not anyway.

I'm still a bit undecided about matepek.vscode-catch2-test-adapter. It doesn't seem to support db tests (likely it's me not figuring out how it works), and we already have ctest working inside the devcontainer. Somehow this feels a bit redundant to me.
