A few weeks ago I was reaching for VScode + Qt because I normally do a bunch of small one-offs. My go-to is mostly command line (vim and shell scripts for building or Makefiles or eventually cmake if things get "heavy")--which means I'm very excited about avoiding qmake in favor of cmake. I find most IDEs unbearably slow and heavy, but I really like Visual Studio's debugger (with multiple languages). I hear great things about QtCreator, but for me it's more about not wanting to invest in yet another large application for things I don't do every day.
