[chbot] Anyone tried Embeetle?

[Charles Manning]

I get annoyed by the Ardunio-ish IDEs. Perhaps it is because it always
makes me feel like I am being treated like a child.
I found the Embeetle debugger in particular a bit cumbersome to use.

I have switched to the Eclipse-based MounRiver IDE for WCH work. They
almost all all feel similar.
I might also try PlatformIO which I have used for some other RISCV work (eg
with FPGA-based cores). Not sure if WCH is supported, but in theory it
should be ebay to add.

I do like the Embeetle file management. It would be nice if some that
became something you could use in Eclipse.
