I use vscode for my personal projects (c++ and a fully open source stack, compiling for both Linux and Windows).

I'm using the proprietary version of vscode (via the aur) for the plugin repository, but I've always envied the open source version...

Are there any tools that have made you excited?

Bonus points if they have some support for compiling with MSVC (or if you can convince me to ditch it for something else).

VSCodium, with vim mode enabled. Came from neovim which still is the fastest experience ever but I had plugins break too frequently after an update. Besides vscode has some nice features (visual git tree for example) that neovim lacks.
