Text editors are lightweight software, and some of the popular text editors are less than 20MB. A text editor is designed so it can be used to write code for many programming languages. Unlike an IDE, text editors are not generally oriented to a specific programming language. Nonetheless, modern text editors support extensions and plugins, and by installing new extensions or plugins, we can introduce new features to the text editors. A text editor generally comprises fewer features compared to an IDE. Text editors are similar to IDEs, but in a text editor, you can only write and modify the code. So, it’s better to choose an IDE that works for a specific type of programming language. The problem with such IDEs is that they are usually of massive sizes and consume a lot of CPU resources. There are many IDEs (called general IDEs) that support multiple programming languages. Many IDEs feature auto-suggestion and autocorrection capabilities, which helps to code faster.
Unlike text editors, you do not need to open the command prompt whenever you want to run and execute the Python code.
