VS code setup is complicated...

Just fresh re-installed the extensions because their settings were messed up and I didn't need many of them as well. Now I only have the standard C/C++ extension pack. One thing I noticed is that when I run my program, it also debugs it. And I can't seem to find a simple option to either just compile & run, or debug (there is an option but in both the options debugging is started). Do I actually have to dive into json files, and understand their code and makes changes and make changes again to change an uhhhh. Why can't there be an options to just run, and debug? I am better of compiling through command line but that is the whole point of using an IDE.

Microsoft owns my soul.

 

Also, Dell is evil, but HP kinda nice.

Well, VSCode is not an IDE per se, if you want it to behave like one then you have to setup your config and deal with json files.

 

I personally prefer to just run stuff through the command line, even though I do use VSC as my text editor.

If you want to do C/C++ development, I highly recommend using Visual Studio instead since it's an actual IDE. VSCode is primarily just a text editor.
