The Arduino IDE is perfect for small coding, large projects suffer a bit with lack of recusses, but for beginners, the IDE is perfectly fine. As our goal is rapid prototyping, the Arduino IDE is the best option. Dozens of libraries help our development.

Arduino IDE is a great, lightweight IDE to get any new Arduino developer up and running. There are few bells and whistles, and the fact that it's free means that the barrier to entry is relatively low. One of my favorite features is the Serial Monitor, which makes debugging projects much easier. Additionally, there is a fairly active community of users who can help with any issues you may encounter while writing Arduino code with this IDE.

Arduino IDE is easy and simple - ideal for a begining of a jurney to IoT world. It's easily configurable and you need to set only few things to start working with your new microcontroler. You don't necessarily have to buy original Arduino board. Beacause Arduino IDE is modular and have strong community support you can download board definition and use microcontroler like ESP8266 or ESP32. It have all the based libraries and hudge database of external libraries that can be download by a click of a button.
