It depends on what you want to make, in my opinion. For anything scientific (Python) or web-based (clojure, javascript), I usually choose to use command line / text editor with build tools like webpack or leinengen. If I were to make an Android or iOS app, I would use the IDE that they give you (Android Studio or XCode) since it ends up being a better experience at the end of the day.
Personally, I learned command line first, and I think its the better way to go overall, since IDEs like JetBrains run the same stuff under the hood, so it will be easier to pick up since you know what's going on better.
- skdotdan 10y agoI see. I reckon that it's not even possible to develop for iOS or Android without the official IDE.
- headcanon 10y agoAndroid and iOS have command-line tools available to build projects, but they're usually meant for CI tools. You can do it, but its not worth the hassle unless you know what you're doing and why. Android may be easier since more of their build process is text-editor-friendly, but IntelliJ is such a pleasant tool to work with why bother?
