in reply to OT: Yet Another IDE Question (VS Code)

This doesn't answer your specific question, but I use:

Even when I'm developing my Raspberry Pis, I simply mount my repository directory from the Pi onto my local workstation, and develop directly. The IDE has a built-in terminal as well, so I keep that open SSH'd to the Pis in order to actually run/test the code as I write it.

In fact, I use several of their products for C/C++, C#, Perl and Python work. Most of their software is available free (community edition) which is pretty-well fully functional. Some software (their C/C++/C# IDEs for example) is not free, but the IDEA IDE is.

Disclaimer: I've got one of their Open Source licenses which allows me to use all of their entire software suite for free, renewed yearly).

Update: I also use intelliJ's CLion for my microcontroller coding (Arduino, ESP etc), and use the Arduino command line interface (within a script) to upload the compiled binary from the IDE to the micro unit.
