VSCode for Blender development #50

This extension is for addon development? What about using VSCode to develop Blender C++/Python itself? Since VSCode could use CMake projects directly via this extension: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools it looks that VSCode could be all in one solution for Blender development especially because it support all platforms that Blender runs on.

This extension is mostly for addon development. Personally, I also use it for Blender Core development, but I don't expect that this works for others in the current state.

You don't really need this extension for core development.

The Blender wiki has a great guide for setupping a VS code environmement for Blender code dev: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Developer_Intro/Environment/Portable_CMake_VSCode You also need to follow this tutorial https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/Windows to have the VS compiler and debugguer, but you don't even need to install the Visual Studio editor if you just want to focus on editing in VS code.

I am new to Blender application, however I am experienced in visual studio C# .net programming. I have an automation application in .net which I want to merge with Blender and create an interactive 3D application. Is it possible to merge both VS C# with Blender?
