llvm exists. it might be a bit of effort if you’ve used too many proprietary gcc extensions, but for most things I don’t think it’s terrible to just switch between gcc and clang

no, it’s still a smoother experience ootb for things like c# desktop apps. in vscode you don’t get a wysiwig wpf designer and such, and xaml completion is worse to non existent.

It does seem to be a newer dev thing though, myself and my jr devs use vscode as much as we can and jump back to VS only when necessary, the older devs on my team are all 100% visual studio and will be forever

it’s tied to packagekit, so tumbleweed should work ootb. opensuse’s immutable distro is less likely to be possible though, as well as anything else like that
