What editor do you use, and why?

What text editor do you use and why? I use a mix of Sublime, VS, WebStorm, and PyCharm. Depends on what I'm doing. I'm trying to learn vim or emacs though - used to use emacs then stopped and forgot.

Visual Studio, with VsVim, visual studio because I'm doing C#, VsVim because I really can't write code without having vim control scheme. When I have to jump to the server and do scripting/code changes it is vim all the way.

Would be jumping over to some linux distro and use vim all the way if it wasn't for the terrible tooling/intellisense support on linux.

Have you tried VS code? It has intellisense and a Vim bindings plugin :p

Visual Studio 2017 and or VS Code. Because of the power of Visual Studio 2017 and the simplicity of Visual Studio Code.

There seems to be a consensus on VSCode. It really is a great editor and blows Atom out of the water. (Lmao @harowitzblack)

Teletype is cool… I saw VS is coming with a similar feature soon though.

I use Brackets. I love the simplicity, it's not overloaded but it has all the features you'd want most of the time…

Tried every editor. Started with Notepad++, then Brackets, then all the Jetbrains products, then Sublime, then Atom & now VSCode. But now settled with VSCode since its light-weight, very-fast (even though Electron), tons of extensions to make you more productive, 1000s of themes if you get bored & updates every month with new features. For me, its the best piece of software.

@sergio yeah, I tried vs code, but I have a lot of custom bindings in my vimrc file, so makes it painful to use the vs code version as it cant use vimrc files

@harowitzblack, ha! Have you really moved to such an advanced editor? I'm still into piping and redirecting all my code, and hoping for the best 👍

Xcode for iOS and VSCode for everything else.

Atom for low footprint and keeping sync between my systems and integration to my git server, oh and as I have a custom language syntax for my coding language I use.

Brackets, mainly because it's wonderfully simple, and I'm a designer/illustrator who has yet to venture outside HTML and CSS 😇

Sublime Text - lightweight, fast, super useful plugins, and the shortcuts are muscle memory now. VS for my next project…just to see what all the hype is about.
