I alway have two editors: a nice bloated IDE for work on larger code bases, and a lighter code editor for everything else and personal projects.

Script Editor
Notepad -> Notepad++ -> EditPad Pro -> Sublime Text -> Atom -> VS Code

IDE
Webocton Scriptly -> Aptana Studio -> PhpStorm

PhpStorm is paid, right? Is it worth the money?

[Gary Bell]

I personally believe it is. I pay for my own license, I make my employer pay for it for my team. But I get them to pay for whole toolbox, so they van use the full ecosystem and use the right tool for the job.

They have a trial, give it a go and see if it works for you.

Yes it is.

• Notepad ++
• Gedit
• Geany
• Cloud 9 (the year I used a Chromebook in college)
• Eclipse (Android)
• Android Studio
• Now, I do everything in one of the Jetbrains IDEs because they have spoiled me for coding in anything else. I mostly work in Android at work and use Android Studio for that, and JVM or MPP Kotlin on the side, so IntelliJ Idea for personal work. Occasionally do some Laravel in PHPStorm

Edit (DOS) / vi -> Notepad -> Notepad++ -> vim / Sublime Text -> vim -> Atom -> vim -> VS Code. Definitely stuck on VS Code now :-)

Visual Studio & Eclipse were in there somewhere for some time but not daily.

PS: Since VS Code is so exciting I helped build Marquee

I worked on:

• VSCode: I love it, but indexation and speed is important for me, and VSCode has started to feel slow and not responsive on these things

• Sublime Text: yes, its fast, but I think that you need to expend too much time to install extensions/plugins that will make your work easier.

• Atom: At first it was something promising, but its REALLY slow for me.

• Webstorm: Speed, productivity and a lot of tools already integrated. I started to use it when the COVID-19 crisis started. A real IDE. I don't know if its worth the money (my company pay it for me) but its where I am more eficient, and I think thats the important thing here.

Started with Dreamweaver, then used sublime, then tried atom, jetbrains, a bunch of others I don't remember, then vscode and finally brackets. I haven't found anything better than brackets I love the suggestions and live preview and auto loading with html and css changes. I don't think I'll ever change!

This depends on what I'm writing.

Java or SQL: Intellij Ultimate, having switched from Eclipse recently.
Remote debugging of Java: Eclipse
JavaScript/docker-compose files: VScode
Bash scripts or config files: vim

Notepad -> Notepad++ -> Sublime Text 2 -> Sublime Text 3 -> Vim -> emacs w/ EVIL mode (Vim) -> Neovim

[Ricardo Valencia]

In order:
Eclipse, school work
Visual Studio, school work
Notepad++, tired of slow IDEs
Sublime Text 2/3, used for about 3/4 of college and first job
Atom, a few months then back to Sublime
VSCode, for a few months then they released SublimeText keyboard mapping and moved completely
PyCharm, for a few projects after college, working on Django code
Visual Studio, first large codebase, working on C#
IntelliJ, large Java codebase

Current stack is IntelliJ for Java + VSCode for python/ruby/bash, but I keep Sublime Text installed and use it every now and then :)

I started off with Codecademy's little project things and for some reason I can't remember their formal name. After that, I took a 3 year break outside of a school project made with Scratch. However, back in December, I took another gander into the world of programming and discovered repl.it/. I use it to this day, as it's good for web hosting or testing stuff, and they have a forum where you can share your projects. I've been exploring local alternatives recently, and have gone from VS Code => Notepad++ => JetBrains stuff (most notable of those being IntelliJ, which I had installed for a whopping 34 hours) => finally Visual Studio 2019, which works remarkably well and feels polished.
