Awesome! I installed VSCode and immediately like it!
Which Scheme extension did you install? Is it this one:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sjhuangx.vscode-scheme
Yes, that's the one I tried. It doesn't seem to provide much more than
syntax highlighting but I guess that's OK for starter.
Anyway, it takes time to even realize that you need a powerful editor
like Emacs. I remember for the first 10 years of my programming life I
mostly used very rudimentary editors like notepad. Once on Linux I
started using Emacs like another notepad. For a whole 5 years I didn't
tap into its giant potential! Then patterns started to surface, and I
thought more and more "I which my editor could do that". At some point I
even switched to an inferior editor to supposedly empower myself. It's
pathetic but I didn't know what Emacs could do. Then after more research
I realized that this ugly looking editor I had been using for years
could do ALL that I wished. It was a revelation, I spent hundreds of
hours discovering Emacs to its finest abilities over the following
months. I was completely obsessed, and my emacs config file grew from
zero to 4K lines. I had become an emacstheist, an emacstremist, a
devoted apostle of the church of Emacs.

I've just tried Spacemacs, and as awesome as it looks it's still
hard to approach, I can see that if I were not familiar with Emacs I
would be utterly lost. The online help is pretty good though, but it
does require to take the time to go through it, while VSCode is
intuitive at first use.
I still suspect Emacs is superior to VSCode (good luck trying to run
VSCode on a headless server + a zillion other things I'm sure), but
for newbies the ready-to-go nature of VSCode is pretty tempting.

I've just realized an open source branch of Visual Studio
exists, VSCode. I've tried it, it's surprisingly good, it's
lean, not tones of junk getting in your way (unlike the old
versions of VS I remember). I was able to install some scheme
extension and it got my scheme files highlighted. I don't how
far it can go, but I feel this has definitely potential.

If there is no any real time debugger for scheme with
inspector, then I would just try to use spacemacs as Nil
recommended.
I debug c++ code with qt creator by attaching to debugger to
process.

So: First, the default mode for opencog is to run the
guile REPL and
load opencog as a module. You can even start the
cogserver that
way. So whatever the guile repl offers, its available
for opencog.
To debug the C++ code, you can start guile in gdb, then
load the
opencog modules. Nil has a bunch of gdb macros set up
to print
assorted C++ objects.
How hard is it to write an ecplise module? If eclipse
already has
modules for racket, sch48, why not just make a copy of
one or the
other, and then edit it, and change racket into guile?
Then you'd
have a guile module for eclipse, right?
