Well if you need an IDE you ought to be using Welkin.
We use The Welkin Suite as out exclusive IDE for development of Salesforce coding projects.
- Great coding envirionment
- Allows for easy and direct deployment
- It's great for searching all of the code in a project to determine where a variable may be used.
- It would be nice if IDE feature releases were timed to coincide with Salesforce releases (i.e. make Lightning Web Components available on the day they become available in Salesforce instances).
- The IDE can be a bit buggy especially when you have several windows of the IDE open to different Salesforce instances at the same time on one machine.
- Sometimes, when you click to retrieve your data too soon, before the program has a chance to ask you to connect to the instance, it can cause the IDE to freeze.
- I have probably saved about three hours, on larger projects.
- It has definitely saved me the overhead of having to work with other IDEs that have heavier setup requirements.
I have tried using the Developer Console, Microsoft's Visual Studio Code with the Salesforce plugins and also Mavens Mate along with Sublime. The latter is deprecated. The rest are either options that are not as fully featured as The Welkin Suite or their setup time is much greater.

Salesforce-Focussed IDE
It is being used by our developers to customize the Salesforce platform. We have used a variety of IDE's in the past and have seen the Welkin Suite on and off throughout the years and decided to give it a try when our last IDE last support by the provider.
- Local History - Without having to setup GitHub this has been a time saver!
- AutoComplete
- Saves the entire project at once
- The Field-Level Security editor - I haven't been able to get this to successfully work on a project after going through their documentation.
- The ability to recover and compare to local history
- Reliable vs. open source alternatives!
