Vim for everything. It's what works best for me.
With that said I would like to say that I was an Emacs person for 10 years also. I've worked with Eclipse, VS, VSCode, Sublime, and many others. Each editor I've used over the years has been a pain at some point of another. Every editor I've ever used required me to perform some kind of custom setup in some way -requiring hours upon hours of extra work to save myself a few seconds here and there from time to time.
I'm not going to try to sell you on Vim. I'm only saying that it works best for me as a baseline for content; where I will often use 'something else' for presentation (if needed). lol, even this comment was written in a vim js implementation I use from chrome's
surfingkeysextension :DThanks! I’ll check it out!
VSCode.
Brackets.
I need to check out this one!
I find it useful for formatting SQL for documentation and it's my go-to for any HTML/CSS stuff. Simply because of the live viewer. It may not be as feature heavy as others, but I find it simple, fast and useful :)
vs code mostly and VIM somtime
vim for quick edits and VS Code for almost everything else.
VScode, but SublimeText has a place in my heart bc I used it all throughout college
Yes! I’ve been using sublime up until today. Just downloaded VScode and trying it for the first time. I like that I can use a lighter background theme. Dark themes are harder on my eyes.
Right now I'm using Atom but now this post is making me want to check out VSCode.
Used VScode today and I like that there are shortcuts for code. I can type div.container.text-center and when I hit enter, it’s written in html (bootstrap 4). Cool!
