Linux desktop: kdevelop, kate<p>Remote ssh: vim<p>Windows: Visual Studio, Notepad++<p>It really depends on the language, doesn&#x27;t it? Funny that nobody mentioned Eclipse or Netbeans here, it was so standard 10 years ago for Java.<p>I mainly work with C++, Fortran, Python, in classical HPC&#x2F;data science based work where I don&#x27;t really make use of an IDE.

IntelliJ for projects. It’s not free, but the functionality will save you tons of time.<p>VS Code for misc files. It starts up way faster than IntelliJ when you need to do something quickly.<p>Vim on the server. For the record, I also use vim keybinding plugins for IntelliJ and VS Code.

Well, this thread should be totally safe from flame wars!<p>I use (n)vim as my editor everything: making to-do lists (which I maintain in plain .txt files), writing TeX for school, and writing code.

I actually use a text editor that grew out of PE from the BeOS days. I just keep adding more and more features that I need.<p>When I don&#x27;t have time to write my own features I use Sublime Text, BBEdit and Atom (for Markdown and docs)

Sublime for single file scripts, VS Code for projects.

vim for most one-offs, JetBrains IDEs for projects. I occasionally take the tour through emacs&#x2F;spacemacs, Sublime, and VS Code to see what&#x27;s new, but historically have come back to those two choices.

vim now. Visual Studio and Sublime for a long time though.<p>May try VS Code again soon

Preferably vim but sometimes Geany, and maybe notepad++ in a pinch.

Sublime when I can and Visual Studio for the gross Windoes stuff.

Visual Studio. By far best editor, JetBrains just copied the Visual Studio concept, and they still rocks on any non-visual-studio supported (by plugins or by default) programming language.

nano and geany<p>(neo)vi(m) if I have to.<p>echo,sed,cat in a pinch ;) (but really love a well configured nano and geany is really great as well)
