How do I tell helm-ag to ignore files with a particular file extension?
Helm-Ag is wonderful.
-
Helm - can it search within files?
I use https://github.com/emacsorphanage/helm-ag because searches the contents for all files in a directory. That uses ag, the siver searcher which is a variant of grep (which is a shell utility that searches file contents)

What do you miss the most from your previous editor/IDE after you moved to Emacs?
I'm not sure but maybe a tool like helm-ag or consult-ripgrep may help with this. You can interactively find lines that you need to edit, then move to edit-mode and batch rename some variables or smth.

What do you miss the most from your previous editor/IDE after you moved to Emacs?
I don't know but maybe it requires some configuration but pixel-scroll-mode only led Emacs to freeze. I think a better package might be https://github.com/io12/good-scroll.el, and for images https://github.com/casouri/iscroll
