In my spare time I've also created a google chrome extension bringing lots of extra features to the formula editor in the new modelling experience, such as syntax validation & highlighting, code completion (line items/modules/function names etc), function and line item hover information, semantic validation (checking for missing LOOKUPs etc) and basic formatting. See my post about it here.

So nice to meet you @GeorgeDuckett .
It's incredible to learn about the plugin you created. Have you created extensions before, or did you learn how to create one because you're passionate about helping others? 😉

Hi Beauram,
Thanks! Glad you like the plugin. I'd never created a Chrome extension before; I thought it might be a fun challenge to learn a new language (TypeScript) and create the extension.
I started it before the new modelling experience was announced (publicly at least) because although the A+ for Anaplan extension did provide some useful enhancements being a coder I was used to a very rich editing experience. Initially I got the Monaco editor within the old modelling experience so that I could easily add to its built-in functionality to provide the enhancements I described. When the new experience one was released I stopped working on replacing the existing editor and moved to enhancing the new editor. Given that Anaplan code now creates the editor with my extension adding to it there are a few restrictions on what enhancements I can do (collapsible IF..THEN...ELSE blocks for example), but most things carried over fine.
It's already proved very useful for my work and hope it can help others too!
