Gnome builder is quite different than other IDEs I've used. What resources/ tutorials are out there that I can use to learn it?

Greetings fellow humans, human fellas!

I’ve started using Gnome-builder as my main IDE for C and Rust programming(well learning C and Rust).

Coming from VSCode, I’ve been having a few issues with it.

Due to its relatively low popularity, there isn’t much documentation I could use to learn the ins and outs of the system.

Does anyone know any resources I could use to learn said program?

Never used Gnome Builder. But isn’t it specifically made for Gnome/Gtk apps programming?

Yes and now. It can be used to make Gnome apps but it is also a general purpose IDE.

I haven’t used it in ages, but I used to use Glade for building user interfaces.

Again, haven’t used it in ages, but back in the Stone Age of computing I used Anjuta for my IDE

I think you can use Glade to build User Interfaces and Vscode for your IDE. I believe they work together.

EDIT:
Both are in the Arch repos

As Pudge said, Glade + CodeOSS/VSCode works well.
I used the combo for some Gtk+python few weeks back. But you can use any language which has Gtk bindings.
