  • IDE in general are not that good.

    VSCode has a lot of of expansions, enabling a developer to stay in the same environment for any language they code in.

    So if you have a multi-language setup, you can do everything in the same IDE.

    I work with embedded firmware, and let me tell you that VSCode is miles ahead from manufacturer tools.

    I personally don’t use VSCode because microcontroller manufacturer tools usually come with a repeatable easy to install environment, so I can easily handoff the projects to my clients.

    But if you ship code and don’t have to ship the environment, VSCode is a good allrounder that can do pretty much anything.

    With that said, use VSCodium instead. At least, it removes the analytics from the IDE.
