A code editor with built in tools for writing, debugging, and running code.
An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a software application that provides everything you need to write code in one place: a text editor, file explorer, Terminal, debugger, and extensions. VS Code (Visual Studio Code) is the most popular IDE and code editor, used by over 70% of developers.
It is free, highly customizable, and has thousands of extensions. A good IDE makes you dramatically more productive with features like autocomplete, error highlighting, linting, and integrated Git. Claude Code works alongside your IDE in the terminal.
