I would suggest VS Code with the Raspberry Pi Pico extension. 

https://vscodium.com/
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode

Codium and Code-OSS may not have some of the Microsoft extensions but you 
won't need that for the Pi.  'New C/C++ Project' will set up the build 
environment or you can select from the examples. It also handles 
MicroPython projects.  I haven't tried Rust or Zephyr. 

If you expect to print to the console make sure you select 'Console over 
USB'. If you miss it you can fix it in CMakeLists.txt.  Make sure you 
select the right board. Pico and Pico 2 aren't the same and the W variants 
require a different approach for the Blinky test.
