Is there a free #IDE that’s intuitive for first-time programmers to use? Even VS Code has a pretty high cognitive load out of the box, what with having to install an extension for whatever language you want to use and all the tabs for version control, terminal, debugging, testing, etc. The “Run” button is tiny and has a drop-down with potentially confusing questions. For brand-new users I’d love to have a cleaner interface by default, with the option to toggle on additional complexity.
