It's interesting to see that over 34.5% of developers surveyed use some flavor of a JetBrains IDE: Intellij - 17% PhpStorm - 7.4% PyCharm - 6.8% RubyMine - 1.7% WebStorm - 1.6% --- Total - 34.5% This makes the Intellij IDE the third most used environment surveyed. If you're not using a text editor, chances are you're using a JetBrains IDE. I'd be interested in seeing the text editor vs IDE breakdown (broken down by age and experience) once the full data is released.

Were people only allowed to pick one? If not, I'd assume the total is lower than that since some people probably use more than one of them.

  Yeah. I've used multiple ones for years. Especially now that they have the license that gives you access to all of them, I prefer to use the language-specific one unless I'm doing a project that requires multiple languages.

    I've definitely noticed the language specific ones are a little nicer with automating some of those workflows that are very specific to the language. Like starting a new PHP project in PHP Storm vs IDEA

I have used Notepad++, Sublime, Vim, Spacemacs and the Jetbrains suite. If I want to do a large enough project, the Jetbrains suite really can't be beaten in terms of just getting things done IMO.

Probably speaks to the quality of their product. There are a bajillion free IDEs out there and people are willing to PAY IntelliJ. That being said, their personal licensing is so affordable that I wouldn't blink to buy it out of my own pocket it if my company didn't pay for it. If you don't need IDEA, I think most of the smaller ones are $50 for a personal license. I used Eclipse for Java and Komodo for Python/PHP for years. Then Komodo 8 was so bad that I gave PHP Storm a try and liked it so much I gave IDEA a try for Java and never looked back.
