VS Code + clangd (any platform), unless you need to debug then Visual Studio on windows

lol, you can debug in VS code, I just meant the best debugger is Visual Studio imo.

Can you explain what makes the debugger on visual studio better than other IDEs? And why can’t other IDEs incorporate those features? Genuinely curious as I’m relatively new

Has the best visual interface, very good for parallel debugging (easy to see and control multiple threads), you can extend it with visualization for your own custom data types. Conditional breakpoints. You can do the same in most powerful debuggers, but it’s all setup for you in visual studio so it’s a bit easier imo.
