Improving Usability and Code Completion in Keil MDK for STM32F4 Development

I've been using Keil MDK for STM32F4 development, but I find the UI lacking in usability. Specifically, navigating menus to find frequently used settings can be cumbersome. Additionally, the code completion suggestions feel basic compared to other IDEs. They'd be more helpful if they provided context-aware completions for complex function calls or peripheral configuration structures. Please Devs, I need your Candid Suggestion(s) 🙏

@UC GEE You can also try exploring other IDEs that also offer a more user-friendly experience too, like visual studio code with plugins like Cortex-Debug and stm32CUBEMX

Thanks @ZacckOsiemo STCubeIDE sounds interesting for the bare-metal, especially if it simplifies things. I've heard good things about VS Code for Zephyr as well. I'll definitely check these out and see if they improve my workflow.
