Personally, I just have Visual Studio and VS Code as my text editor. I rarely use Visual Studio directly, though, I mostly use the `build.bat` and similar scripts in the `PCBuild` directory.
Having said that, I'm not doing anything like debugging problems with DLLs, for which I imagine a decent C development environment is needed. You don't have much choice other than Visual Studio there (no other compiler is supported on Windows), though, so you'll probably need to learn that.
