> Snake case to camelCase > VSCode itself has command of "Transform to Camel Case"

I never understand arguments like this. I have no idea what the shortcut for this command is. I could learn this shortcut, sure, but tomorrow I’ll need something totally different. Surely people can see the value of having a single interface that can complete pretty much any small-to-medium-complexity data transformation. It feels like there’s some kind of purposeful gaslighting going on about this and I don’t really get the motive behind it.

Exactly. I think some commenters are taking this example too literally. It's not about this specific transformation, but how often you need to do similar transformations and don't know the exact shortcut or regex or whatever to make it happen. I can describe what I want in three seconds and be done with it. Literal dropbox.png going on in this thread.
