I found truffle to be very useful as a beginner.

Pros : 1. truffle enables easy deployment on testrpc networks using migrations
       2. very easy to install (npm install -g truffle) if you have npm setup
       3. detailed documentation and a lot of help pages. useful for debugging
       4. makes interaction with contracts easy through the truffle-contract 
          abstraction (which again has a very good documentation
       5.Automated contract testing with Mocha and Chai.
       6.Support for JavaScript, CoffeeScript, SASS, ES6 and JSX built-in.
       7. A configurable build pipeline that supports both web apps and console apps.
Cons :
      1. NO GUI 
      2. no editor for contracts (but you can use atom and install the solidity 
         package
