Visual Studio - not VSCode. It is heavy AF, but that debugger and profiler are just too good not to use. I also don't want to fight against a million compiler/makefile/configuration issues. I just want something that works, and Visual Studio just works.

All that said, I've probably written more C/C++ in Vim on a Linux box since I prefer C# when working on Windows, so idk? Visual Studio on Windows and Vim on Linux distros.

Please upvote Visual Studio then.

I agree.

Visual Studio does not prevent us to get ourselvss in trouble, though. CLion + CMake is the only combination of IDE and build system that I know that is problem-free, and even so it requires a lot of discipline to keep the cmake project simple.
