Which editor is the best for plugins?

  1. Notepad++ is fantastic for learning developers. But after a while you may want to use Visual Studio Code, PHPStorm, etc.

    Wouldn't IDEs be more useful for newcomers as they point out errors?

  3. IDE's have so many features and can be confusing to absolute beginners. Just a code editor can be a good start.

    Confusing if you setup wrongly (on average I have to create new intellij projects 4 times when I want to try out new gradle compile targets).
    Very helpful if you already have a template.

    I would recommend Atom because it can link to github. And it’s free. It’s similar to notepads++ and features a lot of different of coding languages and it can color the part of a code it recognizes.

    Yes, this is true. But I would recommend Atom or if not that, anything really that's is designed for coding.

    Notepad++ was ok, but as you advance you realize how much it suck. I would recommend atom.io
