I am looking for an 'ideal' environment for writing and running simple C programs for beginners in programming. What I want is something that has an appealing design, like Sublime Text 3 or Visual Studio Code, lightweight, in addition with the feature of creating the project folder automatically and also a straightforward building and running program with one click. It would be nice to see the output side-by-side with code.
The other way of saying what I need is a repl.it with visual appearance of Sublime or Visual Code. Or some of these editors or similar, like Atom, with simple run button.
Software I know that is out there but don't have all of that features:
Code::Blocks makes creating everything for project, but with too many steps and it's also not easy for setting a theme.
Dev-C++ can create a mess when creating project by not creating a folder for it. Also, the brackets completion is not good, it's easy to duplicate it and mess with syntax. Some themes are available, but are not good as in Sublime, for example.
It's possible to build C in Sublime, but it doesn't work with programs that need input.
Visual Studio Code has built-in terminal, but user needs to create a folder and run gcc commands and this doesn't encourage him/her to experimenting enough.
Simply, I need a nice looking, easy to use tool, with no lagging, in order to achieve a good user experience for beginners that allow easy experimentation with C code.
Additional question
I think I'm gonna use Visual Studio Code integrated with Terminal. I was wondering if I can make some bash script (not sure if this the right thing I need) which would create a directory named with parameter and setting a variable so that using other script, user could run and compile the current working file. I think I can figure it out, I'm just not sure it will work properly.
