Text Editors vs Integrated Development Environment
Developers should learn and use text editors as they are indispensable for daily coding tasks, offering lightweight, fast performance compared to full IDEs, especially for quick edits, scripting, or working in terminal environments meets developers should use an ide to increase productivity by centralizing coding, debugging, and testing tasks in one interface, reducing context switching and setup time. Here's our take.
