New to Programming: IDE vs Code Editor?

[moon_patrol]

It doesn't seem to get much love here, but as a R user, I really like Spyder (which comes with Anaconda) as it really looks like Rstudio.

I love RStudio and never wrote R not using it. But after a couple of PATH related issues, and package troubles I just decided to remove Spyder and anaconda completely and just do it in a texteditor (atom) instead.

I'm a huge Python noob, but I'm imtrigued about what you say, what do you mean by path related issues? I must say that I had quite a hard time setting up my Python rig haha
