Which editor/IDE do you use and why?

I am mainly writing Python, also some latex and C/C++. And I am using both Vim and jupyter notebook.

For vim, I am using vim for years and spending a lot of time learning and configuring it. It did pay me back by impressive editing experience. BTW, my python code is not that complex, so there is no need to debug and a built-in terminal to run the code is sufficient for me.
For jupyter notebook, I need to plot a lot of figures and jupyter notebook might be the best tool for this part.

I also tried other editors, like emacs, vscode etc. And I came back to vim.

For php development, I use phpstorm IDE which I can recommend to anyone,anytime and any moment. But lately I started with VScode. It's 100% cool.

I configured it to my taste with sweet extension for easy development. I would also recommend this.

Both software are useful, also serve different purpose but it's important to know that an IDE is different from Text editor.

If you really want something better than Atom and Sublime you must buy MyEclipse, that is the best i can find even better than Webstorm.

Brackets, I like the minimalism <3 - it lets me focus on coding better, with less distractions :D

here is my review of the code editors for Mac OS X: workspiration.org/best-coding-edit..., including Atom, Sublime, Coda, etc.

For more lightweight work (Web Development, and scripting languages such as Ruby) I tend to use VSCode.

For more serious work I also tend to use JetBrains' IDEs.

Eclipse for most of my Java work. Mostly because I'm so far too lazy to move my workflows to anything else. VS Code for Python, TypeScript and the rest of "development" work. And vim for anything happening remote and all means of systems and server administration. Would love to use VS Code for Java too but so far this hasn't been much fun. ;)

Visual Studio Code of course, I develop web applications in a python framework called tornado, I used to program in pycharm but it does not supports template syntax of tornado and when i tried vsc and when i realized that there is actually a plugin that supports it
I was surprised, visual studio has so many extensions and many others good stuffs, just great!.

I used atom and brackets for web development, but atom consumes so much of RAM and the performance is very low even with the minimal packages. Then, I switched to VS Code and I liked it. The code completion, on hover of a css property or a java-script function showing the documentation of it surprised me.

I use Vim for text (code) editing. Python, small C/C++ projects, makefiles, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Lua, and just general text file editing.

If I'm working on a .NET project (C# or F#), I use Visual Studio. Resharper for C# is a must, but I admit I haven't tried CodeRush.

If I'm working on a C/C++ project for Windows, I also use Visual Studio.

If I'm working on an iOS or macOS project (Objective-C, Objective-C++, C, C++, Swift), I use Xcode.

Why?

Vim "clicked" for me. It's power, and it's "keeping your fingers on the keyboard home row" gets the editor out of the way, and I can "become one" with my code. Very zen.

Visual Studio is a solid IDE. Big and heavy-weight, but very appropriate for "thousands of source files" large projects.

Xcode is the leading IDE for macOS or iOS development. I find it to be okay, although there have been occasional unstable releases. Like Visual Studio, Xcode can support "thousands of source files" large projects.

Why not these?

I used to use Emacs for a couple years, but it never was to my liking. I gave it a serious try, and I wanted to like it, because... Lisp. But no. The first day I tried vi and figured out the modal basics and how to save a file and how to exit vi, I was hooked and switched from Emacs never to look back. Vim is vi with the addition of tons of lovely chrome and fins.

Visual Studio Code and Atom both seem nice, and are both undergoing very active development. Neither will replace Vim for me. But since they both have a very active community, I expect that both will vie for the hearts and minds and address the aforementioned woes. The "activate-power-mode" is a "killer app" plug-in, and should be on every platform.

I've used BorlandC++, and have fond memories of it. I have not kept up with the latest developments in the past could decades. It may still be awesome... don't know.

I've used Eclipse, around Java 1.4 era. I was impressed with it as a top-notch Java IDE. My Java friends are fiercely loyal to IntelliJ. I think both are good platforms. If I get back into Java programming (unlikely), I'd be happy with either platform.

The other various JetBrains platforms definitely look like very viable alternatives to Visual Studio or Xcode. I just have not had the time to see if they can handle my very large cross-platform project, which has about 230,000 files. Xcode and Visual Studio can handle them.

Unlike a previous poster, I was never enamored with Smalltalk IDE, nor the Squeak IDE. I also am not a fan of Forte IDE nor PowerBuilder IDE.

I use and highly recommend Codelobster.
It has a set of special features for Node.js development: codelobster.com/nodejs.html

Atom. Currently SSD-less on my MBP 2012, so sometimes there are lag issues, but I've put so much time into setting up my workspace and I don't want to swap to Sublime Text (even though I know it's faster).

Lately, I have been using Visual Studio Code.

VSCode because it strikes a perfect balance between editor and IDE.
