What is the best code editor?

Which one you are most effective with.

VSCode is Bae :) But, for Data Science related works, I do most of my stuffs in Colab Notebooks.

Jetbrains products are the bomb! I love the functionality of Webstorm, Clion, and Intellij, integrations are amazing and their intellisense is second to none!

Only downside is they are a little heavy weight :(.

JetBrains. I swear on my life - JetBrains is the best. Hands down.

I'm a recent convert to emacs, so, emacs.

I think the editor you use is largely a personal preference, as each editor offers different things for different needs, and everyone has different needs! But the thing that blows me away about emacs is that it's so flexible that it can be pretty much anything. Sure atom, vscode, and vim are extensible, but with emacs it feels much less limited. emacs isn't the fastest or flashiest editor, sure, but what it lacks in trendiness it makes up for in features.

I specifically use doom emacs because emacs out of the box is quite a daunting program, and, as a former vim user, it's made the transition to emacs quite seamless (in fact it's like using a more sophisticated vscode).

I'm all for Sublime Text, for some time I tried Atom, then someday I decided to try Sublime and it has worked well for. As a lover of Linux, it seems slick to me!

I work on Vim . Used and tried VSCode GNU Emacs and its many distribution (Doom Emacs,Spacemacs) including Native Emacs .Worked on Netbeans and Android Studio .Always attracted to Vim . Always Vim.

my journey:

notepadd++, sublime, atom, und now finally VSC

it would still be atom, but the perf issues, idk

I think PhpStorm is the best IDE for web development. All in all, IntelliJ based IDEs are the best.

I'd suggest that this is dependent on what you want to do and what your requirements are. Use the best tools for your job. For some, this will be the likes of Visual Studio Code. Others will use Eclipse, JetBrains solutions, 'full-fat' Visual Studio or even something like Vim, emacs or Notepad++...

For scratch operations, things like LinqPad or certain cloud services are useful.

In the interests of answering honestly, I don't think there is a true 'one-size-fits-all' answer to this question.

Till now, Visual Studio Code (VS Code) has been a text editor that has blurred the line between IDE and text editors. I use it like an IDE with heavy extensions helping me making things simpler. My main use-cases are ASP.NET Core, Docker and React. I work with python here and there. And the support it has for all 4 of those is phenomenal.

I prefer Neovim for the plugins, customizability, performance, and vim being ubiquitous.

Atom is good enough for me. In my case the bottleneck for productivity is not the editor, its me. So good enough is perfectly fine for now.

SublimeText

VSCode because it is smooth, performant, and uses less resources.
