An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software package that allows us to code in a certain language or environment. It is isolated from the rest of our system, making it safe and easy to use. IDEs can be thought of as off-the-shelf platforms that remove the hassle of installing a new language on our system so that we can move on to the actual code. Furthermore, IDEs usually have all the cool features for a language that would otherwise have to be added manually. This saves a lot of time, especially for beginners who do not have time to learn how to install a language and its packages.
