I am new to processing. Getting used to it and trying to find new ways to make my life easy.

I am using the default processing IDE currently. Trying to make it run on VS code. I wanted to know which IDE does the community prefer to use for processing?

Recently I came to know about ControlP5. It has made iterating new ideas pretty fast. What are your favorite libraries? I am hoping to find some new libraries which can make basic task easy.

Thanks,
