So, The Features of a IDE are:

  1. An Easy to understand Graphical User Interface
  2. A Text editor to write Syntax
  3. A Debugger to find bugs in the Syntax
  4. A Compiler or Interpreter to run your program
  5. A Build or Make Integration to make packages of your program to distribute And Etc. as there are countless useful features of an IDE which will help a programmer in every aspect.

Now, Its finally here is a list of some best IDEs you can try:

  1. Microsoft Visual Studio (Its my Favourite IDE)
