Which IDE and tools are best suited for gcc C development? I currently use vscode and the tried using the ms-vscode.cpptools extension which "supports" gcc C. But extensions like nested functions, are not supported, and come up as errors in my ide even though it compiles fine with gcc (note: clang does not support nested functions in C).

While I can see the usefulness of things like nested functions, my advice is to not use non-standard and compiler-specific extensions.
Also, the VSCode extension itself should be compiler-agnostic. What problems do you specifically have with it? Perhaps ask a proper question about that instead?
