hi all, noob at this. are code editors just notepad but with text highlighting, file opening, and interpreters which you use a terminal application to execute?

    IDEs visualise more data about the project you’re working on then just text editors. It might point out common errors/mistakes you’ve been doing on your code before executing it.

    Text editors don’t have these features.

      You’re also forgetting automated refactors, git integration, maven integration and a whole lotta stuff that IDEs facilitate
