QtCreator is very useful for certain tasks! When working on Qt projects, there are things I find Qt Creator invaluable for -just too convenient to use anything else (almost). I often use Visual Studio Code and QtCreator together when working on c++/gui projects
Features
launches QtCreator or Qt Designer from within code with the click of a button
launch selected file (.ui,.qrc, *.pro, CMakeLists.txt) from
context menus on
explorer view or in editor title, or from editor.
if the path to QtCreator is empty then the user is prompted to
supply the path via a file open dialog
if the path to Qt Designer is empty then the user is prompted to
supply the path via a file open dialog
ui files can be opened directly in QtCreator or Qt Designer
(dealers choice)
*.pro, CMakeLists.txt project files can be opened in QtCreator
*.qrc files can be opened in QtCreator
Requirements
Visual Studio Code
QtCreator
recommended that Qt frame work is also installed
CMake is required for configuring software projects using CMake

-'launchqtcreator.qtCreatorPath': configure path to use for launching QtCreator
-'launchqtcreator.qtDesignerPath': configure path to use for launching Qt Designer
