I tend to throw the commands into a short shell script and keep that with the project, so I know how to recompile and burn the code later. I then use an appropriate toolchain (SDCC, stcgal, avrgcc, avrdude, gcc, etc) to get code where I need to go. It's a text editor with some IDE-like features, but everything is optional and it doesn't dump "project" config files all over your folders. Simple text editors on the other hand: interchangeable, they're much simpler for both newbies and professionals alike, and I expect they will still exist 100 years from now. The IDEs had always changed so much that the tuts were useless and I ended up horribly confused. I tried following some IDE tutorials when I first started programming.

The other is knowing they can still do this ten years down the track, without needing a period PC with period software. One of the most important things for me is knowing that my projects can quickly be taken over by other people without needing special software. General thoughts on IDEs I don't like the lock in. But, TBH, I mostly tried some of the vendor supplied Eclipse based IDEs (TrueStudio, MCUxpresso), not the bare-bone Eclipse with the just needed plug-ins. As a cherry on top: I cannot understand how it's possible to have a bodged dark theme in 2018. I find it cranky and poorly refined, slow and confusing. I sometimes use AVRs, but never Arduino, so I cannot vouch for the quality of these extensions. Both IDEs support bare metal AVRs and Arduino: VS via VisualGDB or the non-totally-free " Visual Micro" extension, and VS Code via the " Arduino" extension (MIT license). It has replaced Emacs in most of my day-to-day edit tasks, even at work: that's quite a feat for me (sorry RMS)!.

It is free and Open Source-ish (eh, still Microsoft.), multi platform, able to run in WSL and (still) quite fast, well integrated with git, has lots of handy extensions and developers that listen to the users.

The other one is rather an advanced editor with compilation and debug support than a full IDE: Visual Studio Code. VS is definitely a powerful and mostly intuitive IDE, VGDB supports a wide variety of MCUs (it's not difficult to add your own, if really needed) and just works for my projects. The first one is Visual Studio Community, free as in beer, together with the non-free (but reasonably priced) VisualGDB add-on.
