On the other side, is there any evitable reason that Cactus have to lock on VsCode?
Hi @davidkhala, no reason that I am aware of. Currently we have implemented the feature to quickstart development on the project using the VSCode docker in docker dev container solution. I am unaware of any SCE with this same feature.

So can we consider remove the .vscode directory? Or any impact after removing?

You can safely remove the .vscode directory with no impact. At the minute that folder only contains a file for recommended extensions and another file to tell vscode how to run the debugger.

@davidkhala Similar thoughts here as per @TonyRowntree put it, I just wanted to add as an extra clarification that we are recommending VSCode, but definitely not locked on it, meaning that there isn't a hard dependency on VSCode or any other IDE for that matter. If one wishes to do so, they can get by with bash+vi just as well (of course some tasks will involve a little more typing)
