Honestly? Visual Studio. Like I am an Emacs user through and through. When properly setup with LSP, ccls, etc. it offers a better editing experience, and when it works its similar to, if not better than VS--even on huge codebases. But I would rather go live in a dumpster than have to use GDB over the VS debugger again. Its so slow, its a nightmare to use with multithreaded code, it just isnt capable of handling a large, GUI driven application.

Maybe there is some GDB config guidebook that I'm missing, but it better be something more than 'lmao just write a python script to pretty-print std::vector'.

Maybe try using vscodium, its Visual studio without all the microsoft trackers etc.

Not the same thing at all, you're mistaking Visual Studio with Visual Studio Code. VScodium is a replacement for VScode, not VS.

On another note, I tried multiple times VScodium and it's missing too many extensions that I use. Mainly Sql server ones made by MSFT.

yeah, i missed that:/ But you can get vs code extensions in vs codium if you add the kicrosoft repository back or download them manually

Oh I didn't know about the repository. Can it sync my settings between devices so I don't have to reconfigure every time I hop on a new computer?
