I am not going to take all the credit for this, as all the real work is done by the tools under the hood that some very smart folks did. This free cross-platform extension merely tries to glue things together nicely to help beginners getting started without too much fuzz. It seems to work well with the students attending my class, but surely would benefit to test it with more people.
I am not sure whether adding a link to this extension in the tutorial page where other tools are mentioned is fine, so I wrote this issue. If anyone things this could help anyone, I am happy to create a pull-request with the addition. For a demo video, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSGJLu1kqyg&t=188s
I made a simple but self-contained extension for VSCode that should make very easy coding in MicroPython for the micro:bit, without having to separately install dependencies such as uflash or microfs: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MAKinteract.micro-bit-python
