I'm a developer, and I can't just skip Windows support, also the "GUI" for debuggers on Linux aee pretty much just separate terminals for gdb, and often I can't just jank my way out with printf() from various issues.

Anyway, vscode would probably work for you. Or try clion. Like VS, but with decent cmake support, clang integration, better auto complete, simpler tool chain management, faster index, no daily crash/hanging, better git/lab integration, cross platform support... Actually never mind, there is indeed nothing like VS IDE wise. Whatever that means

I personally use RemedyBG + Kate + langservers (I might even make my own), which is actually better than VS.
