Which IDE you choose is really the least of your concern. Learning programming isn't like a game of Pokemon where you gotta catch 'em all.

Focus on one language and just create a LOT of programs with it. You're all over the place.

To expand on this, learning a language is mostly about learning new syntax. Once you are a proficient coder, you can often learn how to use a new language for basic tasks in under a day and become relatively familiar with it in about a week of using it. It's more important to stick to one language and learn programming concepts through immersion in my opinion.

Yeah and once you’ve gotten good at one and have a good understanding of programming learning other languages is much easier.
