Always VS Code, because is amazing, have a lot of extensions, and is open-source. Microsoft have done a really great job on that IDE. I think is the best, and will be the best.

Hope my POV added value here.

I really enjoy using Visual Studio Code. It's user-friendly, has great extensions, and supports multiple programming languages.

What about you? Any favorites?

Great question! As a Software Engineer with over 6 years of experience, I've worked with a variety of IDEs and text editors, each suited to different tasks and projects. Here's what I usually go for:

VS Code It’s my go-to for most projects. It’s lightweight, highly customizable, and supports pretty much every language I work with. Extensions like Prettier, ESLint, and GitLens make it a breeze to work with code, keep things tidy, and track changes.

Vim – I’ll admit, I don’t use it for everything, but when I’m feeling nostalgic or need something ultra-fast, Vim (combined with some key plugins) gets the job done.

For me, the choice always comes down to the language and the task at hand. It’s all about productivity, and being comfortable in your environment can make a huge difference.

Would love to hear what others use! Any favorite tools out there? 😊
