I prefer the editor in Sublime Text but VSCode is a good debugger which works with LLDB and Pascal. VSCode is wildly popular as well so FPC is missing out on new users by not having this as option. Maybe some packages you used were the culprit? They have a monthly update cycle too so I would think they catch these things. When I learn a new compiler these days I download the installer, run it, then check VSCode or Sublime Text for extensions to install in one click. If that doesn't work I probably just give up because I idon’t have time to be playing around and there’s myriad of new languages to play around with these days.
