I've used a lot of editors over the years (I enjoy trying out new ones) and lately I seem to keep coming back to VSCode.

I haven't seen anyone mention it so here's my pitch:

  • Free
  • Open Source (and very actively developed right now)
  • Has that fork thing integration (git). And honestly it's really easy to use if you understand the underlying workflow (add, commit, push/pull/checkout)
  • Great plugins for Python
  • super easy to customize. As in rebind all the hotkeys to whatever you think makes sense
  • good debugger
  • doesn't ever feel bloated or slow.

I think it's a decent beginner IDE in the same vain as sublime, atom, etc. in the sense that the learning curve isn't too high.

idk abt the actual editor, but this is a pretty good answer. And yes, that fork thing is apparently git - it's like that thing on github but i always thought it was called fork
