My background is heavily biased towards C++ but I don't really feel like you can make it work in VS Code without understanding, at minimum, where your clangd is actually located. The C++ plugins don't install what you need where you need them, and the launch.json really does not just work. My ex was unable to set up a C++26 toolchain for VS Code because without my help he couldn't configure the settings to connect to the right version of clang tools, and I don't think he ever got the GDB debug adapter working at all.

I agree that 'AI' feels like a fancier/faster 'Google' (I've done the thing where I find a Github issue from 4 years ago that explains the problem), but when we will see a local AI agent that looks at your current configuration/issue and solves the problem for you, and then gives you a summary of what it did?
I get that and I also couldn’t get a boilerplate Vue/TypeScript library project started using AI - bear in mind any guide I could find was at least a year old and by now things have changed enough that none of them work either, but it was overall frustrating for something that should be simple
