Sublime Text, then jetBrains IDEs. Now I am giving VIM a try. Initially, it is a brainf***, but it is slowly getting better! But it is great to be able to use the same text editor anywhere.
Yeah, for example when you are SSHing into a server, you can use the same environment you have in your computer, for example. As long as you install your .vimrc file ;)

I use Cloud9 for a couple of years now and I am very happy with it! It offers a cloud IDE where you can create multiple workspaces. They have templates for workspace setups like Django app, NodeJS, Angular, Python and more but what you get in the end is a container with an ubuntu system that you can configure how you need it. With it the IDE of course!
Recently Amazon teamed up with them and now there are different pricing models and it uses AWS now. I still enjoy the "old" control panel and contracts but the new ones look promising also!
Since I'm primarily a Microsoft stack developer, I use Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio Code. I use Notepad++ sometimes for quick editing of stuff.
Mac book pro (with an external monitor and a wireless keyboard)
sublime text - for front end stuff
vs code
gitlab.com - I see it as part of my tooling.
I create a private repo for all the projects
I have a ES6, Webpack, Gulp and Grunt builder which I clone and use
Codekit - when I want to design something and can't be bothered using a builder
terminal - of course, it's always open
Photoshop - I've been a "design on browser" person since it was questionable but when I have a fuzzy layout idea, moving things around a photoshop canvas is easier
Mac's text-to speech feature! - When writing the best advice is to read your content out loud. I can't be bothered, so I use the text-to-speech feature and I manage to get all the spellings but also, if I can be bothered, I'm able to make what I write sound more like me!
I just switched to Emacs from SublimeText and I'm really loving it. I don't spend my whole day deep in code, so a full-blown IDE isn't something I need, but the built-in shell and git integration (via magit) are amazing.
The best pro-tip I've ever received is to set my font size in all my applications to be relatively large (14pt+). This decreases eye strain and has had the biggest impact on making my day more enjoyable.
vscode - take time and setup your debugging environments depending on what app you working on. The debugging features have saved me tons of time. There is a bit of a learning curve but worth it.
iTerm - always open
Insomnia - for API requests
nvm - switching between node envs
Pomy - personal pomodoro time keeper, I like working in 25 minutes increments and breaking my tasks up that way. Then 5 minutes of whatever to think about something else for a bit then back to it. Goal is 4 - 8 Poms each day which is ~2 - 4 hours of solid coding which yields more than you might think.
Brave - browsing and reading for breaks in between poms
Chrome + Devtools - majority work and some browsing
SimpleNote - quick notes, pseudocode, articles to read later
Pretty much all of these are open all the time. Also when I am working I mute my notifications as they get pretty distracting and annoying.
Web developer, and sometimes Linux admin. I work mostly with PHP and Symfony, not so often with JavaScript / Typescript with React or Vue. And when I have time, I'm trying to get into mobile apps.

Same text editor anywhere => vim ?

Aahh. That's cool
JetBrains IDEs for code and vagrant for environment
Atom as an editor (sometimes even emacs) and vagrant (with VirtualBox) for the environment.

Sublime Text & Cloud 9 have been a joy to work with! Definitely makes things easier. Also honorable mention would be Eclipse!

Also, I highly recommend Fish Shell

Here is mine.
Why Firefox otherwise?
I wanted to try the new rendering engine and it looks like its faster!
If you like Firefox engine, you have firefox developer edition for development purposes too :)
Recently tried this out.
