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).

I’ve been on the JetBrains bandwagon for a long time and no desire to switch.

Thought I was going to show my inexperience because so many posts here are Unix/vim. I'd love to be that kind of wizard... but I think Adobe has spoiled me for UI and JetBrains definitely has that vibe (maybe for the worse just as much as the better)

I found most people don't realize the many tiny features it adds over for example vscode (even with all the best plugins enabled yadayada) which in sum make it a much smoother developer experience.

Instead they open it for the first time, type some lines and say it is on par with vscode.
