Thx for sharing this!

Personally I like starting with a basic cmake file.  
Once the file is ready it’s easier than the tinderbox workflow because you can add and remove blocks super easy.

well i use this two extension in VSCode this makes easier to run and manage your projects:  
c++/intellisense, Cmake and Cmaketools  
my script plus works pretty well also don’t forget to build libCinder for debug and for release

I use clion because it’s very easy to setup and is really focused on c++ development so you get all the good refactor stuff. I know some other cinder linux people use it as well.
