The best text editor for me is whatever IDE you can use for your target platform. The editor that has integrated debugging is the most convenient. For me that's been Visual Studio for years. Visual Studio has many issues. It's slow and cumbersome, often locking up for big projects. I wish I had other options to choose from, but I'm stuck with VS. So if your IDE has debugging capabilities, learn how to code in it. Debugging and text editing in the same familiar tool really speeds things up.
