This sounds like it could become a nice way to try out Flutter since you have to install Android Studio and/or XCode to get started on mobile development. Android emulators seem to require messing with bios settings for unclear reasons. It gets obscure pretty quickly. Flutter depends on a lot of baroque complexity that I guess mobile app developers just accept and it’s not entirely covered up.

Other development environments might not benefit so much:

For Go, the SDK is easy to install and VS Code works.

I’m out of date on Python and assumed package management would be kind of a pain to deal with, but I tried miniconda recently and it it’s pretty nice.

Web development environments continue to evolve, but there are some easy to use ones. I like Deno so far.
