  2. False. Vendor-supplied IDEs will often vary widely in their quality. Be careful of getting too tightly bound to a vendor's IDE, especially if you prefer to use MCUs from other vendors.
  3. False. At a minimum, we would expect software-generated code to be syntactically correct the first time. Beyond this, the code generation is only as good as the frontend supplying it, which tends to evolve more slowly than the underlying code bases (so you'll still need to write in customizations later on).
