I have used VSCode, but I mainly use NeoVim, got the whole configured for ESP-IDF :)

I'm using ESP-IDF + VS Code and have had a great experience so far!

Vscode, nano, mousepad, and sometimes LibreOffice Writer when I've just re-installed the OS to get rid of a years worth of crud and on the fly trying stuff and forget to click "open with" the first time I click on a file. Mainly vscode, however sometimes nano/mousepad are good enough for a quick 1 line change.

I do however find it really annoying to remember to kill the stupid and annoying AI garbage (on vscode and everywhere else at the moment) every time I open a new project and I swear sometimes it turns itself back on for really old projects. I just want to code, and if there is something I don't know I'd much rather read a manual or search the web instead of "hallucinating"/lying AI because that way I can learn and next time that knowledge is in my mental tool kit: thats what makes coding fun.
