Which code editor/IDE should a beginner choose?
Friends, I'm just starting to code now and that's why I was interested in the question of choosing a code editor.
In general, I started with Notepad++, but the interface of this editor is quite ancient, so Sublime Text seems more attractive to me. But, as far as I know, notepad has a feature for highlighting incorrect code writing (which is very important for a beginner, in my opinion), while other editors do not have this feature. Correct if it's wrong.
And the second point regarding the IDE. To be honest, I never fully understood the differences between IDEs and text editors. The only thing I realized is that the IDE has a wider range of possibilities and it allows you to do everything a little faster than in ordinary editors (i.e., the IDE does many things for you), which is already convenient for experienced programmers who carry out commercial projects. But is it worth using an IDE for a beginner? When working with the IDE, will I miss some of the nuances in the code and in its study, understanding the essence of what I write? Should I write in Notepad++ for now, or can I easily switch to the pleasant WebStorm (I'm learning JS) and please my eye with a beautiful interface and ease of writing code?

notepad++ - only for quick edits, opened the file, corrected it - closed
Sublime Text - a good editor, but it will take more than one week to customize it for yourself, ++ knowledge of English
WebStorm is required - A very heavy ide - usually needed for projects in which the code is compiled and is assembled into a launcher, as well as with server tasks
In general, I advise now as a lightweight ide - Visual studio code - almost everything a developer needs is in the box, and there is no extra (like in Webstorm), there is also support for modules
