I thought about including Eclipse, but went with Che instead because Che is pretty progressive and feels a little more like VSCode than plain old Eclipse. I think the real difference is in the configuration workflow, but that's just my opinion.
Eclipse is definitely a great option. Heck, there's an argument that any IDE at all makes for a better IDE than VSCode, which doesn't really claim to be an IDE, but a text editor.
Indeed! That's exactly what this article is about: LDraw and LDView, with a brief mention of LPub3D and Povray for rendering. This article steps you through downloading LDraw assets, writing CAD files using those assets, and then rendering the results.
