Ask HN: What code-editor do you use?

I use Sublime Text 2 with Vim bindings (Vintage mode) enabled. I use this at work to write PHP and Go. My favorite language is Golang.

I also routinely use Vim on the server and my local machine.

I mostly do ASP.NET MVC development, so I use Visual Studio 2010 + 2012 with a bunch of plugins daily. I also bought a bunch of other IDE's on JetBrains' end of of the world sale including Intellij Idea, WebStorm, RubyMine and PyCharm. I have found they are a lot slower than VS 2012. I haven't worked with Eclipse/Netbeans in over a year. Other than that I usually use Notepad++ daily and I really like SublimeText - I've used it on trial, but haven't bought a license yet. I also use Microsoft Management Studio for T-SQL, otherwise one of the aforementioned text editors. A couple of months ago I was hacking away on Ubuntu and found Geany - which is actually pretty good for what you pay for (free). CodeBlocks on windows is not bad either. It might be a good idea to specify language of choice with preferred IDE if that's what you're after :)

Netbeans for all java , javascript and J2EE. I had tried EMACS for Clojure but switched to Eclipse with CCW.

I'm not ashamed to admit I spend most of my coding time with Notepad++ — I suppose I'm not a "real" programmer. I think I'll most likely switch to Sublime Text eventually though, if nothing else because of its cross OS compatibility; I just have to find some time to test if everything I use on npp is there on Sublime Text aswell.

vi,vim,gedit

Textwrangler and vim. I'm looking to move to sublime eventually, but my needs aren't overly complex and I'd rather not spend the effort switching at the moment.

I waste maybe 1-5% of my time on inefficiencies regarding my editor. It's a low priority decision to me.

vim for coding and eclipse for refactoring

Emacs for everything. I am yet to find a more efficient editor. I guess the same can be be said if you're a seasoned Vim user.

I used Sublime a little recently for some HTML and CSS. It may be a better choice for some HTML and CSS, in some or most cases.

Favourite languages: Used to be C but now Ruby, as paradoxical as that sounds.

Java, C++ : eclipse

python, javascript, LaTeX : Geany in linux, notepad++ in windows.

I also use gedit to quickly edit files sometimes, but Geany has a lot of extra IDE like stuff.

C#: Visual Studio 2012, obviously. Java: Eclipse Everything else: Sublime Text 2. Super powerful, customisable, a lot of packages, relatively quick learning curve. What's not to like!

Favourite language...either Javascript or C# at the moment. Not even kidding.

I'm using Aptana, a PHP centric variation of Eclipse.

It's great at matching parenthesis, braces and brckets, provides popup tips on commands and functions (including defined) as you code, can customize syntax highlighting, does some proactive error checking and the file manager is good. Doesn't do upload well.

Used to use Quanta Plus - what I miss from that was the better speed, drag and drop tags (drop an image from your tree into your source - instant img tag.) Better PHP example popups, easier color tag editing, nice preview/WYSIWYG editor pane and decent printout (aptana printing is formatted lousy, and sublime is literally non-existent) And better file transport (pre KDE 4)

IntelliJ, for almost everything...best $50 I ever spent. Seriously, Java, PHP and even my first Rails project. Missing my favorite MVC framework(CI) for PHP though.

Wait for the sale.

espresso

MacVim, TextWrangler, Xcode on Mac at home.

N++, IntelliJ and Eclipse on Windows and gedit, gvim on Linux at office.

Favourite language: Python (which I am learning). BTW I work with Java and C/C++(little) on Android platform.

I've spent years with vim but recently started making the migration to Sublime Text

Try using Sublime Text. It has really grown with time and the new 3.0 version has a lot of awesome features.. http://www.sublimetext.com/

The best part about sublime text are the small add ons. Also, if you know Python, you can write your own add ons right in the editor console itself.

Favourite Language: C but by profession am a web developer so I mostly deal with JS, CSS3, PHP etc.

Sublime Text 2

Python

Gedit. Surprisingly good with the right plugins.

Emacs.

Tried it years ago and absolutely hated it, then last year I saw a screenshot of someone's org-mode setup and thought I'd give it another go. Since then it's become my main editor for coding, project organization, diet tracking and more.

PyCharm, so Phyton :)

I just converted to Sublime Text 2, using the "Vintage Mode" VI keybindings. I'm still missing a few things, but the "Vintage Ex" package and a handful of custom key overrides have gotten me pretty close to an ideal VI environment. Sublime Text is extremely customizable.

My favorite language is C, but I'm doing mainly web front-end work now.

I used Vim for a really long time, but then got a job at a company that uses Emacs + Slime really saw the light.

Emacs is an amazing program, but really is awful without EVIL/Paredit. I don't really like the commands chaining and actually find it hurts my wrists after a day in Emacs mode. If anyone has any advice on how to maximize emacs I would love to hear them!

NetBeans for JavaScript, Eclipse for Java

I've been using Eclipse, Aptana, RubyMine, Espresso, TextWrangler, Notepad++

Now I only use: Vim + Sublime
