Initial impressions

I also agree that that would be very nice. But to be fair, on the other side you can argue that you can still setup debugging yourself if you are willing to spend some time setting things up (Debugging STM32 and ESP32 targets in an IDE). With PlatformIO, debugging is ‘1-click experience’ pro-feature because it does all the setup automatically for you; so that’s a feature you can pay the creators of PlatformIO for. There is a monetary business-aspect to this after all.
