This is great! Really like the idea of being able to move a lot of manual IDE setup/usage to a Makefile. After using the IDE for 3 years now, has anyone used a different IDE that boasts a lot of the same features but is a bit more... friendly? edit: I guess we can use any IDE we want with this CLI, and make tooling around the CLI. I meant the question in past tense :)

You've been able to do that for years[1]. I've been mostly programming my arduinos through headless rpis, because I don't like the idea of my untested electronic designs having any connection with my desktop. Plus it's really way more handy that way, vim + all my keyboard shortcuts etc. 1. https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile

  I’m using this as well. Works great! Compiles and deploys much faster than the IDE I’ve found.

  With all due respect the Arduino CLI is superior to Makefiles and similar tools. it's a single binary (no python or other stuff to install) that uses clang and other tools to automatically deal with dependencies and the process of converting an ino file to a c++ file that can be compiled. it interfaces with the library manager and core manager , downloads all the necessary files etc.. it saves you a ton of time and pain.

The PlatformIO IDE and cli tools have really taken off in the last couple of years. This is probably at least in part a response to that. Although the desire to move away from a computer desktop Java code base full of technical debt is probably a large part of this too. https://platformio.org https://platformio.org

Atmel Studio works well with Arduino. It has an "import from Arduino sketch" project option and can call AVRdude as an external tool.
