Which editor(s) do you use and why?
There have been polls and questions about which editors one should use or which one would be best for a certain programming task.
But I'm wondering which editor(s) you really use and why. So I want to hear your personal experiences and caveats, the positives and the negatives. I've been using a lot of editors throughout the years, from HotDog to Dreamweaver to Editplus to Notepad++ to bigger IDEs like Eclipse, but below are the ones that I use at the moment, both for work and for personal coding.
So I'll start small :)
Sublime Text 2
Positives
- Packages (Emmet, JSLint)
- Highly customizable (keymapping etc.)
- Theming (I like dark themes ;) ), Monokai ftw
Negatives
- Sublime Text 3 should be on it's way, but I have hear rumors that they'll stop development :(
- Performance drops if you have many files open
Atom
Just have been using this editor for a couple of days
Positives
- Packages (same as Sublime, but management is easier)
- Highly customizable, even more than Sublime. Again really easy
- Layout is nice and clean
- Github made it, continuous development
- Just uses below 18MB of RAM (I checked ;) )
Negatives
- JSLint just shows one error at a time (might be a setting?)
So for now Atom wins for me, but I don't know how both handle other parts like GIT integration or function/class/method/variable finding across different files.
I'm a lightweight user in that sense. ;)
Anyway, let me and other developers know which editor(s) you use, maybe we'll learn of an unknown gem ;)
