Which tool or IDE do you use to program?
I've looked at a few and at the moment I'm using Vscode, but I feel that as a beginner in the area it leaves me a little limited/ lazy because it doesn't let me know the basics of certain things such as the basic structure of an html or css code, how to write certain reserved words etc. What do you recommend, or in your opinion should I continue with Vscode?

notepad++
Im minimalist but not SUPER minimalist: notepad++ or geany. Any tools i need are cli based so having a fully featured ide isnt really useful for me. Only thing vs code is good for is the little pets extension you can get... but even that has a cli alternative.
yes yes. but I was referring to beginner programmers. For me, the basic syntax that many IDEs provide greatly reduces the learning curve for those at the beginning of their careers.
Yes but overreliance on a bunch of tools is bad too. Im not saying use no tools, just dont get so many thats your unable to do anything yourself. What your mostly refering too would be syntax formatters/linters and auto completion tools. Both of those can be found as extentions or packages for a minimalist ide of your choosing. Its not some vscode exclusive. Basicly i would rather start with something super simple and not cluttered, then add the things that i need too it. That means you will need a ide thats easy to mod. vscode aint even open source.... but it does allow you to make your own extensions and add them so i guess its still ok. <br> I think that it is mostly about taste. I like less stuff as i only use a few things often and most are cli based. If you like more tools and like vscode id reccomend you swap to vscodium. Most stuff you will be able to bring over from vscode but you will be able to modify even more stuff as its fully open rather then partially. You will also have some stuff like telemetry and code snippets being sent to Microsoft for ai trained disabled.
