Software you use for coding/programming

[Layla89]

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

 

Many thanks!

Notepad++ unless you use a language that requires a more integrated IDE (C# for example).

[adrynalyne]

Sublime Text 3

Android Studio

VS Code

VS 2013 and 2015

Occasional Xcode.

 

I will never use a WYSIWYG editor web work, like Dreamweaver. I despise visual designers.

[vhane]

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.

[Ph1b3r0pt1c]

Xcode, and Microsoft Visual Studio Community Edition, and for the odd correction, bbedit

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.

I use Emacs for everything that does not require an IDE (e.g. Android). Couldn't work without it anymore. 

[Eric Veteran]

Visual Studio Community and VS Code for quick things.

[Danielx64]

phpstorm

[Matthew S.]

Sublime Text 3 for most things

Visual Studio for Windows specific

[Royalty]

Sublime Text and Visual Studio Code unless it's something that requires more than just a regular text editor, for example, Android Studio or Java.

[Max Norris]

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.

[ramesees]

Webstorm for Typescript and related web development

[Grinch]

This is what I use (yes, the links were necessary :p)

• Notepad++
• Cmder
• Visual Studio Code
• IntelliJ IDEA
• Visual Studio 15 Preview (usually 2015 Community)

"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.

[BinaryData]

Web Dev - HTML/CSS - Brackets / Notepad++

Any other Web Language - Dreamweaver (Yuck!)

 

Visual Studio for any other software development.

[svnO.o]

Notepad++

PHPStorm

Visual Studio

 

Usually use Notepad++ for web (LAMP) development but was using PHPStorm for a bit. Visual Studio for desktop apps on Windows.
