I use vscode for my personal projects (c++ and a fully open source stack, compiling for both Linux and Windows).

I’m using the proprietary version of vscode (via the aur) for the plugin repository, but I’ve always envied the open source version…

Are there any tools that have made you excited?

Bonus points if they have some support for compiling with MSVC (or if you can convince me to ditch it for something else).

    My preference is Visual Studio. For some technologies, and mass-text-replace, I use Visual Studio Code.

    A long time ago my main IDE was Eclipse for C++ and Java before that. Recently, I’ve tried RustRover for Rust as an alternative to VS Code.

      Visual Studio debugger is still best thing ever. It is strange how much poorer vscode’s debugger is compared to visual studio.
