Code Editors VS IDEs (What Do I Recommend)

There's tons of different tools that you can pick from when you want to program and one of the most important ones is whether you use an IDE or a code editor for your development work.

IDEs come with a lot more features than code editors do including this such as built in debuggers, linters, compilers and even testing suites, however, if you don't need a lot of these extra features or you'll use them externally then code editors are a great choice for the extra performance.

I use VS Code with the Vim key bindings. The best of both worlds 😎

I feel like VS code is great and all, but I feel like it gets a little over hyped. The language support in vs code is great with extensions, but it doesn't get as good as a real IDE. So for me it can't replace my IDE when I work on an actual project for work.

Wordpad is the superior IDE, change my mind.

the best text editor, the one and only, the superior: Book and a pencil.

omg I hate video about stuff thats digit virtually based and people feel it makes more seen to explain with a video of their face instead of just showing the product 🤦‍♂.

I'm gonna tell you if you make a video of just 30 seconds showing actually daily use with a IDE and then 30 seconds compared with a text editor in use, like literally show a video of you using the programs I'm betting it gets 100k views in under a year. I say this because I spent 4 years in college from different programming languages from c, c++, Java, JS, HTML5, Dos, Bash, ASH, SH, Ruby, Perl, Etc.... however I feel like a grandpa because this was all before windows 10, and the whole obsession's with powershell... :(. My point being I'd like to think I'm not a completely novice user on a PC, but after watching nearly 20 video's so far I've not yet found 1 video that actually explains the difference in a IDE and a text editor quickly and simply with actual examples. I do not need to know what a text editor is, or how it works. I guess I'm specially trying to figure out is something thats built into your terminal, like nano, a IDE? If so, I know of a few great ones for Bash, but I cannot seems to find anything similar to like gedit/vim for powershell/cmd prmpt that works as simply and smoothly?
