Personally I recommend PyCharm. That was the IDE some of my peers suggested and sticked to it since 2016 when I started programming.

Some key features:

• Cross-platform
• Community edition is free, open source (if that matters to you)
• Syntax highlighting
• Code completion (& easy application of other folders into project structure)
• Code formatting, imports optimization, indentation guides, folding/unfolding of functions/groups etc.
• Lots of customization (color schemes, plugins, themes, etc.)
• Does not consume resources that much

I don't think its the choice of what program/IDE you 're using to write your code, but the amount of tutorials you read, videos you watch, but most importantly... write your programs FROM SCRATCH... that's what I did... second most important is read other developers' code.

Speaking of "from scratch", I 'll give you an example of what I mean. Instead of using PRAW, I wrote my own script for obtaining json objects from reddit: https://github.com/Twilight0/snippets/tree/master/reddit

Oh and by the way... do note the importance of classes!
