I stumbled upon this amusing thread on twitter where people were discussing different editors.

I started on a Commadore 64 with the editor for the Basic language that came with it, to punch card typewriter in college, to Emacs, then Notepad++ since I couldn’t find an Emacs on Windows then, Sublime Text on a my first macOS system, back to Emacs with Spaceman’s, then to Neovim, and now I’m going back and forth from Onivim 2 and LunarVim on neovim.
Wow you go way back! Haven't had the chance to test Onivim 2 and LunarVim, but I might soon. Thanks for sharing, Richard!
43 years of programming and you use a lot of different things! Those were just my highlighted editors.
Wow! If you distill some of your lessons / realizations from those 43 years, what are they? Mind sharing them? 💪
For Me It Was VSCode Because It's Just that of Size Nearly 70 MB That Time and I Can Install It in College's Windows Computer and Library's Ubuntu Computer both easily.
Before I Thought of trying the Atom Editor but there website did not had the Build Of 64 Bit Windows to Direct Download So I gone to alternative option.
After using VSCode and Using there Variety of Plugins helped the most for web development that time.
I Also Fascinated by VSCode Because My College Syllabus had C and C++ in it and College PC had Turbo C++ Compiler and they still use it to teach that language because the book had instructions related to Turbo C and Borland C++ I think, They Still Use that Compiler.
My Advice is that if you ever use that compiler you will gonna get depressed dude.
I Support Modern Programmer Should avoid the Turbo C As Much As Possible.
Bye 👋,
Turbo C Antagonist
Turbo C's a classic, but it's okay for it to stay that way.... a classic. Thanks for sharing
My journey:
I agree, VScode's awesome indeed. I would've used VScode for all my development workflow if I hadn't started with Vim and got so used to the keyboard center navigation. Thanks for sharing, Naufan!
Ah yes, "journey" is the right word.
On CP/M:
On MS-DOS:
On Windows:
On Linux:
Probably worth noting that while I remember looking at Emacs and Vim in the 1980s I just never took to using them anywhere. I know just enough Vim to let me edit a line or two when I've got a remote terminal mode into something that only has that.
The tweet lacked details, but its my editor progression from when I started coding until today that's the reason why I used 'journey' as the term. I started from Notepad with Vim as my editor for almost everything today which made me interested in how devs progressed with their editors. I hope that clears it.
On the other hand, your editors give me the idea that you're some sort of veteran. Thank you for sharing
Turbo C >> Code Blocks >> Eclipse >> VsCode
And now only VS Code 🎉
YOOOOOO turbo c was lit.... before! I'm glad there are better editors now.
Dreamweaver 🥰
Those were the days
Hmm.
DOS -> debug for asm, Borland C IDE
Windows: Notepad, Netbeans

Until I reached the age of reason and joined the cavalry.
Welcome my fellow Knight! You may lead the charge!
Brackets->Sublime->VSCode;
I think your editor of choice depends on the programming language. I use PyCharm whenever am developing with Python. For JS projects, i switch between VS Code and Atom. Buh VS Code mostly
Love the flexibility on this one! I just find less mental overhead when I stick to one. Thanks for sharing
Textmate -> Atom -> VsCode
Atom was really popular back then. I'm not so sure about it now. Thanks for sharing!
I tried eclipse for 30 minutes... never went back
I started with online editors for c language to complete university homeworks and then used eclipse for java till someone told me about vs code. also used proteus and pgadmin4 couple of times.
Doing hws with online editors sounds tough, but glad you made it 💪 Thanks for sharing!
SublimeText every time
I appreciate the simplicity of this comment and the consistency of your editor. Thanks for sharing
I don't understand why it's often Ide X vs vim I use every Ide with a vim plugin :)
True. We can all just agree to choose whatever works for us 💯
Notepad -> Notepad++ -> Dreamweaver (back before Adobe bought Macromedia) -> Sublime Text -> (neo)vim -> PhpStorm (with vim bindings, to keep my hands on the keyboard :D)
vim is still used though, first of all it's my set editor in git to resolve conflicts and such, also I use it for quick edits in a file, and of course via ssh on servers. :D
Hmm, it's a very long journey for me, but I'll try to sum it up to most important ones:
Notepad++
Adobe DreamWeaver
Adobe Flash
3ds max script editor
Eclipse
Aptana
Android Studio
Adobe Brackets
Sublime
Atom
Geany
Gedit
PHPStorm
There were A LOT in between, but these are the ones I sticked to the most.
VSCode never felt right for some reason.
My begining:
When I was at college I was using:
And since more than 15 years I use (and from 2 years on work laptop):
{Eclipse, Notepad, whatever I forgot} -> VSCode
Nothing beats VSCode
Turbo C > Notepad++ > Sublime Text 2/3 > VS Code 😁
Sublime Text => WebStorm => Atom => VS Code
