As many users have been asking how to set up ESP-IDF tools in a custom directory through eim. It would be helpful to include a note on this along with a reference link.

@radurentea Thank you for writing the article!

I left a couple of comments that might take some time to resolve. So I will post them now and will continue my review tomorrow.

There are other articles about the ESP-IDF Extension for VS Code, but it takes some time to find them, because we don't have the same tag to tie them together.

The tag VSCode seems to be used in most of them. But it can be used in other articles that deal with VS Code and have nothing to do with the VS COde extension.

Maybe you want a more specific tag for the VS Code extension?

I highly recommend that you pick one unambiguous tag and add it to the other articles related to the VS Code extension:

Please think what works best for you.

We can maintain the same name across all places - ESP-IDF Extension for VS Code

  1. Marketplace ESP-IDF Extension for VS Code
  2. Release Page ESP-IDF VSCode Extension Release v2.0.2 (probably, this need to be changed!)
  3. Project Name ESP-IDF Extension for VS Code
  4. Documentation ESP-IDF Extension for VSCode

Eliminate duplicate EIM content that appeared in both the v2.1.0 and
v2.0.2 sections. Extract the setup flow into a single top-level
"EIM Integration" section covering how EIM works today, then merge
the two version sections into one "v2.0.2 / v2.1.0" section. Update
the summary to lead with EIM and reframe the opening paragraph
accordingly.
