Maybe I worded it wrong. I want to develop my app in VS Code. I have gotten so very used to everything about how VS Code works over the past 10 years, that Visual Studio feels so unintuitive and backwards and weird. But VS is the king of C development on Windows apparently. That said, I've made some progress getting VS Code to work with the official Microsoft plugins for both C/C++ and CMake, both inside WSL and outside of it, though nothing that doesn't feel somewhat hacky.
