Learn More About Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Software

What is Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Software?

Integrated Development Environment Software (IDE) is software consisting of a range of development tools (e.g. a source code editor, a debugger) presented in a graphical user interface (GUI), thus forming a comprehensive programming environment packaged as a software application. Developers use IDEs to create applications and software.
Many IDEs specialize in specific languages, including efficient compilers, specialized debugging features, and syntax highlighting. In contrast, there are also generalist IDEs that support multiple languages. Businesses can use more than one IDE, letting developers use whatever tool best supports their preferred language.
Many IDEs also support plugins, allowing developers to customize their IDEs to better support their preferred language and their coding preferences.

Integrated Development Environment features and Limitations

Many IDEs offer some features that are unique, but they all have some features in common:
  • Text Editing

  • Compiling

  • Debugging

  • Code Autocomplete

  • Syntax Highlighting

  • Plugin Support

Integrated Development Environment Considerations

When purchasing an IDE, there are a few considerations you should make about each option.
  1. Supported Languages: Many IDEs support a variety of languages while others specialize in one or two. When purchasing an IDE, consider all the languages your business uses, and select an IDE that supports them all.

  2. Code Blocks: Some IDEs include prewritten code blocks new developers can use to create certain functionalities. These can be particularly useful for new developers, though these features are often on premium priced IDEs, so consider how much you need them when making a purchase.

  3. Plugins/Integrations: Many IDEs include built in support for plugins or integrations that extend their functionality. One common integration is with Github for version control. Consider what integrations and plugins you want to use when choosing an IDE.


Integrated Development Environment Pricing

Many IDEs are available for free, while proprietary IDEs range in price depending on the features. Businesses should expect to pay at least $50 per year per user for a premium IDE. Additionally, many IDEs are included in software packages with other development tools. Most IDE’s offer either a free trial, or a version that is free for independent developers. Businesses can use these free versions to test out IDE options before making a purchasing decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is a specialized IDE better than a generalist tool?

Specialized IDEs are best when your business develops primarily in a particular language, but it’s worth noting that many specialized IDEs do support other languages, so if you develop most often in one language, but still use other ones sometimes, a specialized IDE can be ideal.

What are the best IDEs?

Are there any free or open source IDEs?

There are many IDEs available for free, though they often lack the integrations offered by premium tools. If you are just looking for an IDE that can handle text editing, compiling, and debugging, there are many free options.

Can businesses use multiple IDEs?

IDEs are largely self contained, so businesses can use as many of them as desired. It may be worth purchasing different IDEs for developers that specialize in different languages, and since many are free this process can be affordable.
