I think the improved production quality is one aspect that killed the feeling your old videos had. Not saying this is bad or good, just the goofy somewhat unprofessional nature of your old videos at ncix was more enjoyable to watch. I have similar feelings as the OP in that your newer videos seem to have last some of the magic that made LTT unique and fun to watch even if I have no interest int he product. However it has been a long time since I have watched one of your older videos and I could be inaccurately remembering the glory days.  

I don't think its that we don't care at all, its just that there are a lot of videos going up in a short amount of time and only a couple of them cover products that are interesting to a specific viewer. I love watching your expo videos when they cover something exciting, but since they usually don't have the typical Linus-goofball-magic that your other videos have, they end up being insanely boring if the product isn't interesting.  

Thats one of my favorite things about LTT, you and the rest of the guys genuinely give a damn about us. Edit: I guess to sum up my feelings/viewing habits, I have generally stopped watching your videos for entertainment and have started only watching the ones on products that interest me or have titles that hint that the video is going to be you goofing around and hiding sausage in your pants or talking about usb butt plugs. I also think that the change in your videos is probably for the better. While they aren't always the type of videos I want to see I think they will help you take your channel, career, and this community a lot further than goofing off at ncix would.

Java: eclipse 
Why? Its was suggested to me and now I'm used to it.
 
C++: visual studio 2010 or code::blocks
Why? No particular reason tried a few different free IDE's and code::blocks just 'felt' the best, then I started using VS2010 when I got it through my school's msdn thing.
 
Editing text/config files, web languages, scripting languages, or in general anything that doesn't benefit from a full IDE: sublimetext 2 
Why? I can easily make it do/look how I want on any platform. I mainly develop on OSX at work, test on linux and at home I use osx and windows.
 
Edit: @OP
You are talking about being able to compile c++/c in sublimetext (or similar text editor) correct?
If so sublimetext does support building/compiling to some extent (in short its just running shell commands). Look at  http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5219 or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13670064/sublime-text-2-build-system-for-c-programming-language . These should hopefully get you setup compiling from sublimetext.

Happy to help! Dont get stressed out of you don't understand everything at first. I had a hard time learning to program while in highschool but gave it another shot in college and things started clicking ( mostly due to having a better teacher). 

Take a close look at System.out.println(answers); and the number of ints in courseworkmark.
Working for me when I fixed those two lines.
