Discussion on: Which editor/IDE do you use and why?

I like to use many different ones, depending on my mood and what I use them for.
For text editing and minor code edits, I use atom
For C++ I use either juCi++ or CLion, depending on my mood. CLion is great because it's very feature rich, juCi++ is great because it's an artisanal, open source IDE to which anyone can contribute, which I can thus customize to my preferences.
On my phone I mainly use vim (without any plugins) and on my PC I sometimes use vim-spf13, usually when I'm working in console-mode at the moment and can't be bothered to start atom and navigate to that folder.
When I can't be bothered to use vim, because I'm in a bad mood, I generally use nano.

When I was still using Windows, I usually developed on Visual Studio, which is (in my opinion) the best IDE that has ever seen the light of day, without contest whatsoever. Unfortunately VS is not available on Linux, so eh.
