I'm sure there is a method to their madness.

Based on your recommendation, I tried setting up VSCode
on my Linux box a few weeks ago.

After getting a handle on what was what, I ended up running
cpan to get some of its dependencies installed for perl development.
It ended up trying to install a package that wanted me to
downgrade my perl version.  I didn't want to do that, so end
of that project.

I did try compiling and running a simple C program
in VSCode, which output something trivial to the console.
It wouldn't let me just run the thing ... insisted on
running it with gdb.  I can see the utility of that,
but it wasn't what I expected.

Linux Mint Victoria.
