As far as I'm aware, the most popular F# tools for writing code are (from most to least popular): Visual Studio, Ionide (either using Atom or VS Code) and Emacs. I haven't seen that many people coding in F# using anything else, but I'm sure you'd find a few people using the usual suspects (Vim, Sublime Text, etc...).

I'd like to use mainly emacs but I've noticed high delays in auto completions on certain type providers that don't exist in VS. Not sure what the issue is...

Xamarin Studio 6 has gotten a lot of F# support. I've seen a lot of folks using that for coding in F#.

  +1 for Xamarin Studio. That's what we're using for F# / iOS / Android.

I use vim, but the lack of autoindent support is a bit of a pain. I've been meaning to check out spacemacs and see if it does any better there. also I'm just learning f# and I've started a small project to capture the paket and forge commands needed to get up and running: https://github.com/martindemello/fsharp-quickstart https://github.com/martindemello/fsharp-quickstart

  Last I tried there were a couple of issues with autoindentation with the fsharp plugin for emacs, but they're well aware of the issue and have been working on it last I checked.
