If you (or anyone else) has any more information on questions 1-3 above I would love to keep working towards having a better understanding of where VCS stands as a workable development environme…

I will have more answers when I am not teaching :slight_smile:

As a few others have already pointed out, you should give Robot Mesh Studio Blockly a try if you want a graphical programming environment. Transitioning from Blockly to C++ is also possible without leaving the Robot Mesh Studio ecosystem, should you choose to do so at some point.
