Does anyone know a good setup for Arduino using VS Code?

The main reason I enjoy VS Code is that I can work with several ecosystems (such as JS and Python) at once in a fairly light-weight environment. I'm looking to incorporate Arduino into such a workflow. I am already familiar with the official IDE.

I have tried the most popular VS Code extensions, but here are my gripes with them:

  • Platform IO: It tries to control too many things. I want a simpler system where I'm in charge of creating files and managing configuration.
  • Microsoft's VS Code extension: It seems a little buggy and work-in-progress. Getting it to work with the CLI is fairly hacky and C++ Intellisense seems to keep hanging up. TBF to the team, it's in v0.4.12, which seems fairly early.

Any ideas? Additionally, if there is a way to use Arduino with WSL or through a Docker devcontainer, that would be really awesome.
