My thoughts on that are... atypical.<p>VS Code has a pretty simple auto-complete mechanism for C - pretty much, it will auto-complete words that have been used before in the current file. That works for me, because I generally write APIs that have simple interfaces with a... I&#x27;m not sure how to describe it, parameter ordering that I expect.<p>If you&#x27;re working with a bunch of libraries where function signature completion would be useful, then maybe a more functional IDE is useful. OpenGL is an example that comes to mind... I have no idea off the top of my head what the parameter ordering for glTexSubImage2D is. Generally though, I personally prefer the delay when occasionally having to look up an API over the delay caused by using a heavy IDE. On non-Windows, I&#x27;m an emacs guy. I&#x27;ve tried Emacs-win32 and it just feels like a UFO on Windows.<p>To answer your question, I personally do use VS Code on Windows, even when I&#x27;m working with crazy APIs like OpenGL. It subjectively feels faster to me than Visual Studio or Eclipse, although that might just be in my head.
