However, selecting a code editor really doesn’t need to be a soul-crushing dilemma. Yes, yes – this notion seems strange when the overwhelming consensus online is that there must be a Highlander type of battle to the death. Let me put your mind at ease: it doesn’t matter all that much which IDE (integrated development environment) you start with. And since a lot of the posted opinions are contradictory, a starting developer in Unity can become anxious about which code editor is the right choice. Devotional praise and heated vitriol are spilling over the keyboards 🙂. If you’ve ever researched the Unity MonoDevelop vs Visual Studio controversy on the programming forums, you already know how passionate developers can be about their favorite tools.
