What is the best IDE for C? I usually use a simple text editor, but I'm looking something with project management tools and git integration.

ed is the standard text editor.
If you really need IDE, then it's either NetBeans or CLion.
But you most probably don't need one.

The least shitty is Visual Studio

Vim + gcc on my librebooted T400 running Trisquel GNU/Linux.
Genuine question: all memes aside, how useful is learning C as a first language? Will it help me land a job?

Qtcreator is pretty good.

Emacs with projectile and magit

C is a good starting point, but it can also be the end goal.
Most programming languages assume you are familiar with C anyway.
I started out with learning assembly on a atmega microprocessor.
I don't write that anymore, but the core essentials stick with you.

Very useful, since most languages (that matter) has a C-like syntax.
As for job, yes, if you're lucky, have skill and are willing to work in the embedded market. Outside the embedded market C++ tends to be king.

I've been using Notepad++ and gcc/gdb to compile and debug. Feels a lot different compared to using an IDE. I like it.
I think Netbeans would probably work for you. Whether it's the "best" is debatable but you can run and debug with ease.

Good lord no. If you use it all, only use it for Java. Installing addons feels like a god damn mess.
