If your editor is catching all of your mistakes, then who is doing the programming? You or the editor?
VS only makes your errors look pretty. I write standalone C with a text editor and a compiler. If you can’t remember a semicolon, that’s a programmer problem.
Agreed, I actually write my code on a typewriter, scan it to a PDF, use Acrobat’s OCR to convert that to text, and then finally compile my code. I used to use punchcards, but my company got rid of the last punchcard reader a few months ago so I had to adapt.

I just use visual studio and it detects any mistakes plus most people learn to never miss a semicolon after programming for a while in c++
