What code editor do you use and why?

[kn4ll]

I started learning programming less than a week ago, and I just use the one coming with python.
I think the recommendation was using pycharm, but I'm still at the early chapters so I don't think it matters that much.

"the one coming with python" what that one would be? because afaik there's no code editor embedded in python

The default installation contains IDLE, in Linux is just that nobody likes to add the package..

It's IDLE yes, I haven't gotten so far that I've tried out anything else.

Emacs because I need more than just an editor.

Cursor and other AI powered vscode are just overkill.
It doesn't even work on Assembly.

Mostly depends on the application.
Game Development I use Godot as the game engine atm, so the gdscript is written inside the engine itself.
For other languages, I mostly use VsCodium, if it's C#, I fall back on normal VsCode, as Codium doesn't support the .net compability well from my experience.
Used Visual Studio before permanently switching over to Linux and had Rider for a while, but currently I don't have that due to my college not having a proper email for verification purposes.
Anyways, for my current project, I use the Arduino IDE.

Nobody is using

I don't use a code editor.

If i ever need to edit code I use the full fat Visual Studio that has everything already preloaded.

Unlike others, I don't care about bloat. In fact, I want any program or software I use to be as packed with as many features and options as possible so that I can do everything I need from within one program without having to waste my precious time jumping between different softwares. Always better to have and not need than to need and not have.

And that is also why I will never ever use Linux.

ah the lazy princess types, each to their own
