VSCode / Platformio has a learning curve in terms of figuring out how folders are organized, where your code is, what the windows do, how to properly update libraries and board configuration files, etc. ![]() And the syntax error underlining and completion tools are helpful.īut I suspect that VSCode / Platformio is overkill for those who are comfortable with the Arduino IDE, are writing simple code for Arduino or ESP, and are largely following “recipes” online using pre-baked libraries. My take on it is that VSCode / Platformio is extremely convenient for those who are writing complex code that involves (for example) writing new libraries alongside the actual Arduino or ESP code, or working with files of different kinds all next to each other (as in the article summary). I’ve played around with VSCode / Platformio a bit, alongside the Arduino IDE.
