Well, I'm using Visual Studio Code in developing STM32 projects. My Visual Pin Configurator application generates projects for VSCode, including the required configuration files in the hidden folder needed by VSCode. For Jal I use Geany IDE, but no problem in switching to an already very familiar IDE.
