Having indentGuides enabled is very very useful, I can't imagine working without them, however, seeing them active all over the file is a little annoying. It would be great it the work like sublime text's. Here's a screenshot of sublime text:

indent-guides

(1) They only show up relative to the cursor position.

(2) They don't show up here, which is good.

(3) Also, the brackets of the block are highlighted because the cursor is inside it, that's very useful. VSCode only highlight them when the cursor is exactly next to the bracket. The brackets are highlighted with a subtle underline easy on the eyes :sweat_smile:, but I guess that's another subject.
