In the meantime, I'd highly recommend PlatformIO over the Arduino IDE for writing code for embedded- besides having a much nicer UX, (they recommend using their VSCode extension, which is great, but they also have extensions for a dozen other IDEs) it natively supports way more boards and frameworks.

Seconded on platform.io. Unsurprisingly, they support the Digispark: https://docs.platformio.org/en/stable/boards/atmelavr/digisp... .

I recently switched to PlatformIO for an embedded project. The IDE plugins are not necessary, you can easily get by with CLI tools alone (atleast I do).
