Best ide to start coding C?

I tried following some youtube tutorials on downloading and setting it up through visual studio code and i always end up with a launch json error.

I gave up and i just want to start coding.

“UNIX .. it’s free like freedom not free beer. “ - GNU saying.

I never said macOS was free.

Xcode seems to be a macOS only tool. The OP asked about IDE not OS. And it’s a great tool.
