VSCode with the CodeLLDB or MS C/C++ extensions both usually work out of the box for debugging most compiled languages (so far I tried C/C++, Rust and Zig), but compared to proper Visual Studio it's very bare bones (especially the variable view panel).

Debugging in proper Visual Studio is by far the most pleasant experience I have ever had. Flame graphs, call graphs, memory and CPU utilisation graphs, straightforward call stacks and variable views... FOSS debugging utilities don't even come close to the debugging productivity on VS 2022.
