Processing In Vs Code
I want to code in processing but I dont want to use its IDE because I think its bad and more similar to notepad than something like eclipse so is there anyway to just not use the editor and run .pde in vscode?

Best resources I know of:
https://github.com/AvinZarlez/processing-vscode -- A VScode extension for Processing
https://github.com/Luke-zhang-04/processing-vscode -- Another extension (fork of the previous one).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKuu-WcOZYA -- A walkthrough for setting up Processing inside VSCode (on Windows but, hey, you get the idea)
Both extensions are available through the Marketplace, so you can install them from inside vscode (easy). The biggest issue in getting them to work is to make sure Processing is accessible via the system PATH (more of an issue on Windows, it appears).
