Still, if they made it a third year course -- I'm not convinced that is a good idea.

To address the OP's question: IDEs depend on your preferences. Personally I would do all of my coding, regardless of language (Python, C, C++, Matlab and so on) in Notepad++ and then compile/test it separately.
The point is, you could code in Notepad and the professor would not care as long as you submitted the assignment.
As for the changes in the programme ... well. I feel moving Thermo to second year is a good move. Moving Signals (2MX3) to third year, not so good a move. A new course that teaches you how to program in a Unix environment -- 3F already forced on to learn that stuff, even it was rather Spartan in its implementation; though I concede that the programming techniques might be useful.
I do hope they introduce a course dedicated,
actually dedicated, to Discrete Logic and such. There needs to be a precursor to 3TA4 and 3TB4. Finally (from what I saw) the new professor for 3N03 really improved the course and made it useful -- I am now in favour of getting rid of 2MM3 and keeping 3N03, provided he continues to teach it (I think it was Haddara? Correct me if I'm wrong).
