The microsoft-office-addin-debugger is only required for legacy Edge, and shouldn't be needed for most scenarios. So I don't know that we want to recommend it here.

This line is actually the Office Add-ins Development Kit. We leverage the old debugger's id so that we don't need to go through a whole review process. You can check it by click the link in PR description. @akrantz @AlexJerabek

I don't believe you should be doing that. Not only is it confusing but it has the potential to bring in the old extension.

As I understand it, the Dev Kit is another tool for creating add-in projects. What is the reason for recommending it in templates that are used by other add-in creation tools?

We release the Dev Kit as a new version of the old debugger. If they click the pop-up install button of recommendation extension, they would install the latest version which is the Dev Kit. Therefore, there is no chance for developers to install an old version of VSC extension unless this is what they intend to do.

Will the ID "msoffice.microsoft-office-add-in-debugger" for the Dev Kit change, or is this permanently the old name?

The Dev Kit is beyond project creation and can help developers explore more on platform capabilities. For example, they can explore samples or check the useful links in the side panel when they complete trying the first project.

The Id will not change, still "microsoft-office-add-in-debugger".
