Text Editors! - TrueStudentOfPython - Oct-19-2018
Hello Everyone!
So I am a new to the board and I am also an serious aspiring Python user, so for my first post I wanted to start somewhere very basic:
" What is your preferred text editor? "
As a bonus I am also curious about IntelliJ IDEA CE ... because I have used Sublime, Atom, Brackets, Eclipse, and a few others ... but as far as I can see IntelliJ seems superior. I am curious about what anyones thoughts are on that?
Thank you so much everyone,
I am looking forward to being a part of this community :)

ive never used IntelliJ IDEA CE so i couldnt say. However i usually like lightweight options such as Vim or Geany for GUI. IDE's are as numerous as types of vehicles. Everyone likes something different.

As metulburr points out Everyone likes something different.
Two are two on the top of my list:
#1 VSCode (not to be confused with MS Visual Studio).
#2 PyCharm
But again IDE is a personal thing. Suggest you try several and find the one that best suits you r needs.
To try VSCode, follow snippsat's tutorial here: https://python-forum.io/Thread-VS-Code-from-start?highlight=VSCode

Can I as something here? Is VScode Microsoft's product? If it is not I may try it too.
I found it.

It also runs on all main platforms.

Someone wrote on Python facebook group that it's better then Pycharm. I'm still sticking with Notepad++, when I feel that my programming skills are really improved will move to some IDE.

I didn't, but am happy with VSCode (after trying several others).
It does everything I need, so until some earth shattering event, I'll stick with it.
