Maybe it depends on your preferences. As someone who enjoys "suckless" tools on Linux, it makes me happy when I can avoid VS Code, however, many embedded projects out there just default to Platform IO. A simpler Arduino IDE is an advantage for me. With a more capable Arduino IDE, maybe there will be less VS Code dependence.

- skybrian 4y agoYou can use PlatformIO from the command line, so it should work with any editor in principle. (It’s written in Python.) The main thing missing would be the glue code to tell the editor which directories to find header files.
