One of the major doubts that I have been having lately is distinguishing the difference in between Visual Studio and Visual Studio code.
Which is better Sublime Text or Atom ?
Why can't I always go for Visual Studio ?
Is my machine capable of running Web Storm efficiently ?
Which is better ? An IDE or a text editor ?
The endless set of questions as such was the reason that made me do a small
research on the two topics "Text editors" and "IDE"s.
A good text editor will be more helpful when it comes to
beautiful writing. Nowadays we see text editors for example Sublime Text
offering a very personal user experience with features such as coloring the
code so that it helps to identify different parts of the code easily . The
features offered by these editors can be enhanced by installing various
plugins. For example, Sublime Text has a plugin called "HTML
Beautify" Once you run it, it converts the interface to a HTML editor. But
when it comes to programming, writing, testing and debugging all play an
essential role. With an editor , we can make changes easily and it consumes
less system resources .
On the other hand, IDEs or Integrated Development
Environments offer distinctive features such as Refactoring, Code
completion,Debugging , Unit testing, Version controlling etc. Some good example
would be "IntelliJ Idea",Visual studio , Visual studio code and
Eclipse.
Some IDEs also offer platform-specific tools.One good
feature of an IDE is the ability to suggest code intelligently . It helps the
programmer to save time .Also , IDEs have integrated debuggers that helps to
find bugs in your code while it’s running so you can remove them before you
release an application or website into the world.
As a conclusion we can say that , both Text editors and IDEs
have features unique to each one of them . Without leaving it to the program we
use to code, it is best we learn the language in every angle such that we don't
have to rely on the IDE or the text editor we are using.
