Arduino IDE vs Kakoune

Arduino IDE is an open-source integrated development environment for writing, compiling, and uploading code to Arduino microcontroller boards. It supports C/C++ programming with a simplified API and includes a serial monitor for debugging.

Kakoune is terminal text editor inspired by Vim but using a selection-first editing model with multi-cursor support. It provides comprehensive features for code-editors workflows. The tool is actively maintained with regular updates and strong community/vendor support.
