1-command completion.
2-syntax correction.
3-several extensions that helps with code testing and more and more.
so we conclude that it’s almost a must to use 3rd party text editors for developers to reduce effort, errors and time.

Command Line
There two ways to control operations in OSs, either by using Graphical User Interface (GUI) which is more user friendly, or by using Command Line Interface (CLI) which needs some practice to know how to operates things using it. So why is it important to use CLI ?
CLI is much more lighter on device resources which is very imporatnt thing that you have to consider when talking about servers that literally needs every single bit to provide a stable and continous services, also CLI can operate multiple things and provide more features from one location, and easier and faster to run many different services.
The CLI that we are going to be using is Ubuntu which Linux Ubuntu’s CLI.
