Hello everyone, my first post here and hopefully many more.

I'm a beginner, I do have coding experience in C# and JavaScript, but honestly not a ton to really brag about so I'm just going to say 'I'm new with an ok working understanding of coding'.

I'm looking to install an IDE or code editor and I'm looking at some options, would just like to get some suggestions or opinions.

So far I've looking at these:

VC Code
Sublime
PyCharm Community

Can someone tell me what they would recommended? Free or cheap.

Thanks for reading.
This was discussed on multiple occasions

My personal favorite - VSCode
Have tutorial VS Code from start you can look at.
If you are on Windows so is cmder important for me in,it's a different league than cmd/PowerShell.
Other advice is to have a good REPL ptpython or IPython for comman line use.
Web bases look at JupyterLab,here are there also online free services as Azure Notebook and Colaboratory.
I like Sublime over VSCode, but it's not free. I think it's worth it, since I code a lot. Depending on how much you code or expect to code, it may not be worth it to you.
An excellent free editor/IDE is Kdevelop. It is a Linux tool but it is also available on Windows and OSX. It is my favorite editor. It's free as in freedom.
Thank you very much for your helpful answers, I was looking at the poll that was taken and seems VC Code is what I'll check out.
