Why

• Make it easier and faster to work
  • Main workload in SystemVerilog, Python, Tcl and Git
• No right or wrong when choosing main IDE
• Meager support for HDLs
• VS Code looked the most promising as a general purpose IDE
  • Powerful extensions for everything (especially python and git)
• I was looking for a hobby programming project
