   I would suggest VS Code with the Raspberry Pi Pico extension.

   Codium and Code-OSS may not have some of the Microsoft extensions but you   
   won't need that for the Pi.  'New C/C++ Project' will set up the build   
   environment or you can select from the examples. It also handles   
   MicroPython projects.  I haven't tried Rust or Zephyr.   
      
   If you expect to print to the console make sure you select 'Console over   
   USB'. If you miss it you can fix it in CMakeLists.txt.  Make sure you   
   select the right board. Pico and Pico 2 aren't the same and the W variants   
   require a different approach for the Blinky test.
