IDEs & Code Editors

IDEs and code editors covers the programs developers write and run code in. Listings include desktop editors, browser notebooks, mobile code apps, and plugins that add language support or formatting. Startup speed, extension support, and how much each one assumes about your setup matter, since a lightweight editor you configure yourself feels very different from a full environment with debugging and version control built in. Extensions often come from the community, so check who publishes one and what permissions it asks for before you install it. Some entries are editors for a single language and others try to cover many.
