What code editor do you use and why?

[Cloverfieldo]

Recently I started using vim because I wanted to use a minimal editor and got impressed with its plugin library and what you can do with it on the terminal.

The entire JetBrains family. I will go thru trouble to streamline my workflow and make it work with those IDEs. I refuse to code without them.
For quick editing I guess notepad++ on windows and vi on other platforms.

 

[GipoScribantino]

GNU Emacs because it's a better GUI than what is offered by default on current-day desktop environments.

 

[bocchi]

Sublime Text on my pc and vim on servers.

 

[popo53414]

Nano on servers. VScode on github codespace.

 

[Syri]

Brackets for HTML and related work, and Notepad++ for pretty much anything else.

Just neovim. I'm developing a game in Godot and tried to use the built-in editor there, I couldn't bare to use it, when one sticks to the vim way of writing, one cannot live without the vim way of writing.

Your average VS Code user here. General purpose Code Editor & lots of good extensions.

If I am on a system with a lot of RAM then JetBrains IDEs, otherwise VSCode

senior dev here. notepad++

 

[Trobilobada]

OpenOffice and ChatGPT.

 

[NoDigit]

Vim. It's preinstalled everywhere, has good plugins that can match functionality with bulkier IDEs and it stops anxiety of accidentally messing things up with your mouse.

Neovim for python, text, config, text based porn, ascii anime girls.
Latex+Neovim for writing markdown documents so people can have a dumbed down guide to follow. Add vimtex to your plugins.

text based porn

Do say more...

 

[Disappointment_Child]

Pure vim. It's so nice, I can go to pretty much any Linux based device and just run a small shell script and it's exactly the way I like it.
Also because of :smile

I use VSCode for three years now.
I mostly code in Rust, sometime Java, JS/TS.
So, it great to have an Editor that support most of the existing languages.

 

[ijslad]

i use vanilla vim but mostly just cos ive gotten used to it

 

[QueenNether]

Mainly bash due too its libraries and connectivity with git
