Setting up VS Code, how to?

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

I'd really like to use VS Code. I have the Arduino extension installed but <Select Programmer> does show anything. The same is true for <Select Board Type>.

I got this working once with the Blink example. I had to edit the .vscode/arduino.json. Which seems silly this should happen through the interface, none of my projects seem to have this.

How can I get VSCode setup to work consistently with Arduino?

I really need a real code editor. The Arduino app feels like a toy! It's got no code hints, no spell checking. The color coding is minimal. I could go on...

Install the PlatformIO addon to VSCode or maybe try version 2.0 of the Arduino IDE
