Being a long time user, I can guarantee that you are gonna love it, It is extremely easy to use and learn and develop your projects with minimal knowledge. It's easy to use and interpret. For beginners it is a bliss. It contain numerous libraries and so can be interfaced with many sensors and components to develop real time projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a great software. I do not see any drawback in it just that few more libraries can be added, but it's completely optional and overall it's a great software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very light tool with all the most useful features required to develop code for Arduino and other embedded platforms such as ESP8266.

It loads very quickly without popups with tips and other stuff that delays one´s work.

The built-in examples feature is very helpful for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of integration with version control software (e.g., SVN) and source code repositories (such as GIT).

Support for code completion is another feature that I miss when I use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works. That is the biggest thing. Beyond that, there is a lot of support for many Arduino-style microcontrollers, with many configuration options. Not to mention the ability to add new libraries, as well as Serial monitoring, example code, and more, the Arduino IDE is solid. The program is regularly updated and has a great community around it and the associated hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've not come across anything with the Arduino IDE that I don't like. It has done everything I've ever needed, and then some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple, but it gets the job done. Integrating libraries, choosing your board type, choosing the correct USB device... you can do all of them easily in Arduino IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More advanced features may require a more robust IDE. There is no debugging, no memory inspector, things of that nature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a tiny tool with incredible possibilities and endless utilization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the USB port on my laptop doesn't identify the board, i have to try couple of times before i manage to see the board on the GUI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Arduino IDE for a really long time and have been using it in projects as my code editor for electromechanical projects. This has a very concise display of notifications and ease of writing code with proper functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, there is an issue with processing the data, and can take a little while to pop the results out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Opensource and Easy to use. Hardware is easily available and cheap. Standard hardware makes things easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need official/ software to simulate all the feature without need of hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most valuable features of the Arduino IDE are board management and library management. It is straightforward to set up. It supports all most all the microcontroller development boards in the market today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arduino IDE does not fully support FreeRTOS and Zephyr, but I hope the maker of Arduino IDE will make it compatible with RTOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like most about Arduino ide because of its easy use, it's easy to download the library for any sensor.

I used this in home automation.

And the best part is you can modify the library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

some times it freezes with any sensor's reading Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arduino was one of the first things because of which I entered the semiconductor industry. I used Arduino during my college days; I constructed various projects using Arduino UNO, Dew. The more I learned about it, the more I fell into love with electronics. I owe my success to Arduino. Coming to the software, Arduino IDE is used to program Arduino. The primary language used is C-based. I love how it supports different baud rates so that PC and Arduino can get in sync. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of proper documentation by the Arduino developers itself made my learning curve a lot more linear than exponential. Arduino is a great software to use and a great microcontroller, but the lack of a proper application document has made it a lot more challenging to use it. It does not have similar support as Raspberry Pi; I feel it needs to be more marketed. The most hated thing that I observed in Arduino was its lack of performing multi-threading/parallel processes in most of its Arduinos. Arduino Dew is capable of performing parallel processing, but it can not due to development limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
