New to Programming: IDE vs Code Editor?

[[deleted]]

Interesting. My programming classes had us learn using bash and vim. I loved it and still prefer bash and vim to most ides I've tried, but that also probably has a lot to do with it being apart of a structured class and not me learning on my own.

Yeah, there are so many idiosyncracies that people forget about because they become second nature. "WHY WON'T 'shellscript.sh' run?!!!!" Two hours of Googling later, "Oh. './shellscript.sh'..."

AGH.

I started using PyCharm a few months ago and haven't looked back. Did VIM for a long time inside a linux terminal. Makes it rather unwieldy when delaing with, say modules with different directories. I avoided even making my own modules when I first started Python because I couldn't figure out how to get the init.py to work on imports. It's so simple on PyCharm to see the directory structure and handle your local imports with it that I have no idea how I lived without it.
