> The level of quirkiness and bugginess in the tools is on another level to most software tools. You shouldn't need access to the engineers who built it in order to make it work, this basically increases costs and barrier to entry massively.

I do not know what SW tools are you using but i'm still looking forward for a SW tool that doesn"t suck.

Oh yeah, software tooling also sucks, I'm just saying it's on average still better than the best of any hardware tooling I've ever had to use.

I believe software developers are split between IntelliJ, Eclipse, Visual Studio and VS Code. They do work very well compared to what I've seen in the embedded world.

Ignoring text editors here, because text editors are not programming environments (no debugger, no compiler, no source control, etc...)
