On mint it actually finds the C# sources in Godot, for example. It also easily "compiles" and launches the soft through Godot, with working debugging. Vscode is a nightmare to set up, there are configs, other files, project files, and other parameters that just aren't taken into account. Or having, gasp, code in a folder, it just isn't getting scanned by vscode. You can surely get it to work, but if you don't use the base boilerplate setup it just doesn't function well at all.

I have used visual studio since early 2000 and it was good, then it became bloated, and vscode is IMO just a lighter version of that bloated visual.
