Hi experienced devs , I am a beginner programmer. I mostly use code completion and go-to source , and rename function and objects, code-pretty. Other features not so much. What features do you use often And what features are not that useful in an IDE and can be considered bloat? P.S.- Which is that one feature that you can’t live without?( sorry for sounding like tiktok wannabe)

    Debugging is the killer feature that keeps me using them a lot of the time.

    You can set it up in code editors but it’s never going to be as good as a language specific ide.

    I generally find the features aren’t bloat. You may not need a lot of them often but when you do they can be incredibly powerful.

    Many ides are incredibly extendable as well.
