Ask HN: Which IDE do you use?

1 pointsby rohitvalmost 12 years ago
I&#x27;m fairly new to programming but, I use Netbeans for web development (PHP&#x2F;JavaScipt&#x2F;HTML5), Eclipse for Java and Notepad++ for anything else. These might sound terrible, any alternatives or suggestions ?<p>Actually, I just realized I am always switching between Notepad++ and NetBeans for JS so, would love to know what everyone else uses.

I use vim with a few plugins like syntastic and command-t and my system(XFCE&#x2F;Debian) terminal emulator for most of my development. For Java&#x2F;Scala, I&#x27;ve found IntelliJ IDEA CE to be the best. Also, the Aptana Studio(an Eclipse based IDE) is very good for doing webdev.

It depends: For bigger, structured projects in PHP I use PHPStorm (89 euro, but it&#x27;s worth it) For smaller PHP projects and for Ruby and Python I use SublimeText 3 Vim only for really small changes on remote servers.

For Web Development I use Aptana Studio, as I love the layout and functionality for web design.<p>Eclipse for Java, and Visual Studio for C#.<p>Everything else, I use Sublime Text (Unregistered atm)

tmux + vim<p>I avoid plugins to be able to work on any system at work.
