On: Arduino command line interface

In the past I've had a great experience with PlatformIO which has a CLI and a front-end in Atom+VSCode

In contrast to Arduino, I've found it does a great job of handling your dependencies.

The Arduino CLI handles that auto-magically (if you want) by leveraging clang and other tools. Also it's a single binary and doesn't require you to deal with python and other stuff. This was a pain point we got as feedback from a number of users. (Disclaimer: I'm the con-founder of Arduino)

PlatformIO is a great tool for building open-source firmware with dependencies.

I love PlatformIO. I don't even start projects without it nowadays, and Ivan is very responsive.

> Atom+VSCode

Excuse my ignorance, but how can something be in Atom and VSCode? Are there two separate versions?

Yes. (The website says "Install for Atom .. or .. Install for VSCode")
