Code Editors vs IDEs : Why you NEED to STOP using IDEs

IDE vs Code Editors, a mistake that many people learning to code make when finding an environment to use to write, run, test and debug their code. Beginners see people use Intergrated development environments or IDEs used to teach programming and they themselves try to use an IDE like Pycharm, IntelliJ, Net Beans, Eclipse among others. These applications are used by IDEs that are making scalable applications used by people whereas you as a beginner will be making simple applications to learn basic computer science concepts and syntax of programming languages. You will learn better by using code editors like Sublime text, Atom, Visual Studio code.

If you are into Machine Learning and Data Science, try using the Anaconda Distribution along with Jupyter Notebooks.

If you are into plain Python, Sublime Text is my favorite.
If you are into Web development, Visual Studio Code is the best. according to me.
If you are into Android Development, Android Studio is a great option.
If you are into Competitive coding, pretty much any code editor should be fine for you. Some also like to use Notepad++.

IDEs are easy and efficient. Started with them, learned in them, working in them. They save a ton of time and reduce the number of small mistakes.

[adtc]

I lost you when you said "Notepad++" is an IDE 😂😂😂

[JBande]

notepad++ is not IDE, its actually most lightweight of the lot. The video is confusing the topic totally!

[EvilTim]

I think the line between IDEs and code editors becomes fuzzy when you install a bunch of plugins for an editor like VSCode or Atom

[aaravdeysarkar]

i started python on pycharm but my pc was lagging a lot, then i installed sublime and my god that speed

[erz_mafia]

I am a beginner and i use pycharm for python i am not that person who's like digging all the options and wasting his time in exploring the IDE ....i just use it to write, debub, run my code and that's what i need ...❤️❤️

[avikghosh]

Notepad++ is not an ide. It is a text editor and also very lite weight in comparison to vs code. Although VS CODE is my favorite Text Editor for development.

Bro I have one question if I wrote a program that finds spam emails in mobile how to apply that code to realtime ( for eg I want apply that code for my mobile to find spam msg or email how we can do that)

[prithvireddy]

npp is not an ide, its just a code editor, rather we can turn vs code to a near ide level by installing few extensions and plugins for it

[clintonreisig]

Lack of tutorials on Code Editors make people discover that the IDE is visually friendly and tells people what is happening !! This is a huge advantage for a beginner. I use A LOT of Terminal and code editing, but still need an IDE once in a while because there might be NO information available on how to do a particular task in a code editor. IT IS THAT SIMPLE

[philfv]

I think it might be useful for beginners to use a text editor... But for serious projects, you want to have a debugger, and some advanced functions like for refactoring, etc. It saves a lot of time.

I started with ides, and now I try to avoid them as much as possible.
In the beginning, all the details are really overwhelming but when you get to know the stuff better you really learn the details about every language much better in a code Editor like vscode.
I think everyone should try it at some point because it can give you some real new insights

A drop year for jee preparation will affect my placement when I join a college. Is there any disadvantages, please do reply please

[thedayleevlogs]

I personally love lightweight code editors like vim, nano and I also have a 1k lines of vim config whose purpose is make vim more like an IDE. So why people basically love IDE bcz you don't have to dig in too much to get started with development, it's straight forward and whole lot options of extensions and scripts gives you an extra edge. It's pointless to compare both and what should you use. It depends upon you what you like.

[MsCellobass]

I am so glad I found your video. Only reason I was installing VS IDE on my puter was because I was following a textbook on coding and it mentioned that IDE IS what’s needed to get web project going. That was not a good experience. There were a LOT OF STUFF in there that I had no idea what they were and then it asked me to also install some other things of which had errors in the installation process. I ended up calling Apple to help me delete the program.

[josiahhockenberry]

For beginners, Thonny is great. It's free, lightweight and fast. I had to play with the settings to get the lines to line up with the line numbering, but overall it's pretty good. For me, the only thing that's a little annoying is there's no word wrap. One day I want to write a plugin to fix that.

[abhishalsharma]

What's the slight difference between Code Editor and IDE

It depends on what kind of app and tech stack you are using. IDEs provide a way more powerful environment right out of the box than code editors.

[chakradharkollipara]

hey i use awscloud9, and jupyter notebook, as my ide's can i mention them in my resume??

[pietraderdetective]

how come you categorized notepad++ as IDE? it is a text editor and one of the most lightweight I've tried..and I'm using it for daily use with Python.
