    I use IntelliJ for JVM languages (Java and Scala), and PHPStorm for everything related to the forum (PHP+HTML+CSS). For everything else, I use VS Code with the appropriate plugins (at the moment I have the plugins for C/C++, Java, GLSL, Go, Latex, Markdown, OCaml, Python, Rust, Scala, SML, Prolog and x86 asm).
     
    JetBrains is really good for languages that benefit from IDE autocompletion, like Java, but it is very heavy in terms of memory and CPU - right now it's using 1.5GB of ram on a project with 100 files and 7k lines - so if I'm only working on something smaller, VS code is much lighter while still being good.

    VSCode all the way, I used to use Atom until I started having performance issues with it. I can't see how people can still use Notepad++ in this day and age. I sometimes use VIM if I'm using the Terminal.

    You need to specify the specific use case.  A text editor has many different uses

    Depends on the file I'm opening.
     
    Generally I'll use Notepad++ for normal files, but for programming it's Atom, and for large (meaning freaking massive) files I'll use gVim. (handle's 20+ GB text files just fine.) 
     
    Why do I have 20+ GB text files you ask.... well... uh... I may have tried to brute force a game by calculating every possible move a person could make, then calculate the BEST one. That resulted in a few... 20+ GB files. (It worked by the way...)
