I'm on the hunt for a reliable IDE for C programming. I've previously used IDEs like Spyder for Python without issues, but finding a solid C IDE has been a struggle. I've already spent about three hours trying to research and experiment with different options, but it feels like a never-ending cycle of installing and uninstalling software. I gave VSCode a shot, but all the tutorials I found were for older versions, and many of the extensions I need either don't exist or didn't work. I also tried CodeBlocks, but after an hour of troubleshooting, I threw in the towel. So, can anyone suggest an IDE that just works for C? I'd also appreciate any good video tutorials if you have them!

I recommend trying out Visual Studio. It’s pretty user-friendly, especially for beginners, and once you get through the initial setup, it runs smoothly!
Just a heads up, while Visual Studio is easy to set up, some folks find it a bit heavy with all the extra features you might not need as a beginner. Just something to keep in mind!
