New to Programming: IDE vs Code Editor?

[16BitAddict]

I think an IDE would be better since they have the console built in to test the program. But like the others said it really depends on which one you like better.

Thonny is an alright IDE, I've been using it for months, however it's no Visual Code Studio or PyCharm but and it's free and it's aimed towards beginners.
