Software you use for coding/programming


Question

Hello there, Neowins!

 

Would you be so kind to suggest the most comfortable editors/plugins you use for programming/coding?

Heard of people using Dreamweaver, but that seems too difficult for me. Idk.

Anyway, I've been using Notepad++ for a while and I'm pretty ok with it, but maybe I'm just missin out on something better?

Sorry if my question seems stupid to you, but I'm just a beginner, so please bear with me :rolleyes:

 

Many thanks!:)

IntelliJ & JetBrains friends

Xcode

Android Studio

Vim as the general purpose editor

Occasional VS Studio

A whole lot of Terminal

 

Always, always Vim modal editing. In my IDEs, and in my shell too.

That's very close to my own. As a rule, VIM for most stuff like C/C++, desktop Java, Python, etc. Android Studio for Mobile/Android obviously (though I do on occasion eschew the IDE and go VIM / terminal Gradle). 

 

Windows development, such as Cygwin/Mingw and C# is relegated to a guest VM running on my Linux host. I rarely touch it though because Windows has become a legacy ecosystem as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I've also almost given up on Windows at this point (I do keep a VM around). I've told my clients that I'm not interested in .NET work anymore. Which means that everything that I build these days run on unix-like systems:

  • Linux servers
  • Android
  • iOS and OS X

We've reached the point where all the interesting server-side tech is coming to Linux first. Also with tooling for OS X and Linux first, because that's what the guys who are building that stuff are using. Windows is still big in the enterprise, but that whole space moves slowly. It's just not that interesting to me.

Visual Studio for C# and Python on Windows, RubyMine on WIndows via SSH to a Unix host for the occasional Rails work, pretty much stopped using my old Unix desktops anymore due to the remote interpreter support in the JetBrains products.

"comfortable"

 

"difficult"

 

Listing things apprpriate for various activities and tasks is possible.

 

Figuring out what is "comfortable" and not "difficult" is a subjective criteria that would require a lot more background detail.

 

Otherwise all people can do is list whatever fits their own personal subjective criteria, which seems to be what happenned here.
