Most of the basics courses are taught using the Treehouse workspace rather than an IDE, but there is a course dedicated to learning how to use an IDE (IntelliJ IDEA) and a lot of the more advanced courses does use IntelliJ IDEA instead of the workspace.

In the courses where IntelliJ is used they do indeed use System.out instead of the console object. It is worth pointing out that besides the use of the console object (which does not work in IDEs for complex reasons) all of the code shown off in all of the Java courses will work in Java IDEs.

So if you take the code shown and remove any reference to the console object and instead use System.out.printf for printing instead of console.printf for example and the Scanner class for getting input instead of console.readLine then the code will work in an IDE.
