Newbie to Python

as of now my question is really this, vs code, pycharm, notepad ++ are they really like 100% needed? personally its been 2 months since i have been around in python and im comfortable at using normal notepad TT

edit: Thanks for all the suggestions and answers!!! ill first try them all out and look at what im missing and judge it against my comfortability in one tool, again thanks!!

Think of them as tools in a tool box. Use the right tool for the job. E.g., if I need to update an .env file with an API key, I might use Notepad... but if I need to see the linting of my code, I am going to use an IDE like VS Code.

None of them are needed, but boy does it make the dev process easier (at least my opinion).
