Honestly? Visual Studio. Like I am an Emacs user through and through. When properly setup with LSP, ccls, etc. it offers a better editing experience, and when it works its similar to, if not better than VS--even on huge codebases. But I would rather go live in a dumpster than have to use GDB over the VS debugger again. Its so slow, its a nightmare to use with multithreaded code, it just isnt capable of handling a large, GUI driven application.

Maybe there is some GDB config guidebook that I'm missing, but it better be something more than 'lmao just write a python script to pretty-print std::vector'.

What about Visual Studio Code? Isn't it open source and free?

No it is not, plus vscode is something entirely different. Really i am specifically talking about the Visual Studio debugger compared to FOSS debuggers.

Maybe try using vscodium, its Visual studio without all the microsoft trackers etc.

Not the same thing at all, you're mistaking Visual Studio with Visual Studio Code. VScodium is a replacement for VScode, not VS.

On another note, I tried multiple times VScodium and it's missing too many extensions that I use. Mainly Sql server ones made by MSFT.

yeah, i missed that:/ But you can get vs code extensions in vs codium if you add the kicrosoft repository back or download them manually

Oh I didn't know about the repository. Can it sync my settings between devices so I don't have to reconfigure every time I hop on a new computer?
