IDE's are software designed to allow you to write code. Just like QuickBooks makes it easier to track sales, or Word makes it easier to write a term paper, IDE's provide tools to make programming easier.
There are countless IDE's available that are specialized for specific languages and workflows. Many people have standardized on VSCode becaseu it is free to use, has numerous extensions, and is user friendly.
