Ask HN: What are your favorite editors / IDEs and why?
I know this question seems to get asked semi-frequently, but since there seems to be new editors and IDEs popping up all the time, I figured I'd ask again.
I use:
Atom - for anything web development related and some python as well
IntelliJ IDEA - Java development
Notepad++ - for any quick editing of single files
- LoneWolf 10y agoSince I work both on Windows and Linux here are my tools. IntelliJ as an IDE, mainly Java/Android but I use it too for any other supported language (shell scripts, python, whatever, if there is a plugin I use it), sometimes even for some single files, since I have it open nearly all the time. Notepad++ for any quick edits on Windows. vim for quick Linux edits (mostly stuff that needs root) Edit: Sometimes I need a hex editor, for that i use Bless.
- khubo 10y agoAtom with vim-mode. And vim for quick edits.
- mindcrime 10y agoFor console mode / command line, I use Emacs for almost everything. But I don't really do much programming in Emacs... I mostly use it for editing config files, and various random text files. I'm not really an Emacs "power user" although I think I should one day invest the time to become one. That said, I have been playing around with Slime a bit for doing Lisp code. For most programming, I work mainly in Eclipse with various plugins for different languages or whatever that I might use, outside of Java. If I'm stuck on a Windows box for some reason, I always make it a point to install Notepad++ for quick and dirty editing of text files.
- diegoprzl 10y agoEmacs + Evil. If it's not Java/C#/Scala, I do it here. A lot of note-taking using org-mode. IntelliJ/Eclipse/Visual Studio.
- aashishkoirala 10y agoVisual Studio for C#. Atom for JS/HTML/CSS. Programmer's Notepad for everything else.
