Arduino IDE Alternatives

Arduino IDE is described as 'Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments' and is a popular IDE in the development category. There are more than 25 alternatives to Arduino IDE for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Web-based and SaaS apps. The best Arduino IDE alternative is Microsoft Visual Studio. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Microsoft Visual Studio or PlatformIO. Other great apps like Arduino IDE are embedXcode, ArduinoEditor, UECIDE and OneWare Studio.
