Cursor might be a good alternative to VS Code. Has a good integration with the LLMs and you can literally chat with/about a codebase without leaving the environment

My programming literacy is embarrassingly low [ outside of some routine python scripts ] but my goal of knowing just enough to be dangerous seems more probable [ and fun tbh ] with Cursor. my understanding is that Github Copilot excels at autocompletion but Cursor ( also a fork of VS Code ) seem to have gone one step further in making the "chat" experience fully context aware of the entire codebase by default. So, from my limited experience, I had more success in my effort to understand a complex codebase and all of its messy glory better with Cursor...  Screenshot is a sample Q&A from the interface. 

now, im curious to play with the rover codebase in Cursor. Will give it a go soon and report back. :)

I’m using vs code mainly because rover project and embedded stuff seems to require it according to @anurajenp 

I’m not really programming much. Just pulling and running Anuraj code on my hardware. But might do more and might as well stay there. I assume vs code has GitHub copilot integration since both are Microsoft
