ELI5 What is an IDE and what does it do?
So with programming languages you could just use a standard text editor and then compile the program via a command line interface into an executable, however these days we tend to use IDE's which are Integrated Development Environments, which have additional features. Additional features of an IDE are things such as allowing you to single step through lines of code, as well as ilntellisense to make suggestions and auto-complete code statements. Basically you don't need an IDE, but it makes your life a hell of a lot easier. More on reddit.com

What IDE do you use and why ?
On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge. If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options: Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or Temporarily refraining from using Reddit Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium as a way to voice your protest.

What IDE do you use? Why?
VScode. I’ve been using since it came out and have optimized and customized it to fit my workflow. I’m using the integrated terminal a lot, for git commands, compilation commands. And the editor just fits my needs. Plus, integrated debuggers for the languages I’m using most (C#, C++, Python). Nothing much to complain about. More on reddit.com

r/explainlikeimfive on Reddit: ELI5 What is an IDE and what does it do?
March 3, 2022 -

Hi, I decided to pick up Python as a bit of a hobby, and so I downloaded it and looked up a YouTube tutorial. I am very tech illiterate, and everyone is saying that PyCharm, or another IDE is important, but I have NO idea what any of that means. Upon googling, I still don’t know. Any tech people with immense patience who can tell me what it is, what it does, and why I need it would help me out a ton.

And IDE is not essential, especially at the beginner level and especially for Python. IDE's (Integrated Development Environment) are very helpful for managing the complexity of large pieces of software. When you begin learning to program, your software is not large and not complex. The benefits aren't as large, and it's one more thing to learn. You can learn it later, after you learn programming. If you were starting out on a different language like, say, C# or Java or Rust, then I would recommend to start with an IDE. C# and Java are basically designed around the assumption you'll be using an IDE and there's an lot of extra complexity that Python doesn't have that an IDE can wrangle for you from the start. Rust has its own set of challenges. Examples of things an IDE can do: Automate building and running your code (this is simple in Python) Connect an error back to the line of code that caused it Jump between the use of a function you wrote with the definition, which might be in a different file somewhere else Large-scale changes, like taking one piece of code and splitting it into two pieces: an IDE can update the rest of your code to account for that
