I do a lot of Web Development. It's what I do for a living. I am a huge fan of Sublime Text. I actually work on a Mac. It's what we all use, but I try to make sure all my software can be used in multiple operating systems. I hop around a lot. If it's any kind of scripting language, which is what web applications generally are, I recommend Sublime Text 3. It has an awesome amount of plugins. It's just great. So easy to customize to your needs. Not really what I think about when I think of IDE. I consider it more of a text editor, but it's really semantics I think. I could be wrong, but that's how I look at it. I just wanted to say that, because I'm seeing a lot of Notepad++ recommendations. It's great because it has FTP built in, but if you're FTP programming, you should probably look into changing your workflow. I kind of want to try out IntelliJ variants like PHP Storm or whatever.

 

For Java, eclipse is still pretty much used by most as far as I know, but I have absolutely fallen in love with IntelliJ. I had to tweak some weird default settings that I don't really get. Android studio is based of IntelliJ too.

 

For C++, Visual Studio all the way. Nothing compares. In my opinion, that includes C#, and C.

 

Objective C, use XCode. I don't use it, but as far as I know, the alternatives aren't great.

 

For the guy using vim, I think you're nuts, but the best programmer I know lives and dies by it, so there has to be something to it.

I go eclipse and notepad++ for my uses... Then if you are counting web development, I use dreamweaver for javascript and PHP stuff

I'd say using a text editor (+ compiler, if you're using a compiled language) is

a development environment, but not an integrated development environment.

But then again, the lines are a bit murky anyways, so I'm sure you can always find

dissenting opinions. For example, I'm sure some people would call a text editor

with integrated syntax checking but with an external compiler already an IDE. Plus,

it is possible to compile programs from within Vim, so if I never have to leave

my text editor during development, is it an IDE? Who knows... :rolleyes:

 

For the guy using vim, I think you're nuts, but the best programmer I know lives and dies by it, so there has to be something to it.

It has a bit of a learning curve to it, but once you have it set up properly and

gotten over the initial hurdle (meaning you have the relevant keybindings in your

muscle memory) it's totally awesome IMO.

[Oby]

For web dev - Notepad++

For Android dev - Eclipse

[thereau]

Visual Studio for C,C++,C#.

Mars 4.4 for assembler (MIPS).

Android dev- android studio.

[FlakeyBanana]

Notepad ++

[mainedutch]

For Java I used Eclipse, best IDE I have used so far. NotePad++ and TextPad, etc, are just too minimalist for me. I like having all the bells & whistles. 

 

For C/C++ I use CodeBlocks because I just started using C/C++ and was recommended CodeBlocks. 

[wing2k5]

Visual Studio 2008 for old SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) for making reports

Visual Studio 2010/2012 for C++, ASP.NET and pretty much anything Microsoft-specific

Notepad++ for simple HTML, CSS, and Javascript stuff

[Guest Kefuren]

I mainly code with Java, which for I use Eclipse, because it's just the first IDE that I started using. It's been sticking around since and does it's job well.

 

For the occasional Python programming, I just use the default IDLE ide that comes with it.

[genesaika]

I mainly use c++ in visual studio, but I'm looking at Java for android and have Used eclipse so far.

[PC_Master99]

Visual Studio 2013 for C# and C++

 

Eclipse for Java

 

Notepad++ with the right compiler for C

Why? Thats what I'm taught in school and thats what the company I'm an intern for uses (ASP.NET).

 

Java: Eclipse

Why? Learned with it, and that's what we use at school.

 

The rest: Notepad++ or Vim when I have to shh into a linux machine.

Why? Easy of use, very light, can install on any client's machine (N++).

[rockking1379]

shell scripts: vi or sublime 3 (depends on if its on my laptop or the server)

C#: VS2012

Java: Eclipse

PHP: sublime 3

SQL: sublime 3

C/C++: Code::Blocks (was VS for a while, but want to do linux programming)

Everything else: sublime 3

I use netbeans for java, and most of my html/css stuff. 

[igotsnomoney]

[Nallown]

[Unknown_Guy]

HTML / CSS / JavaScript

For single document editing: BlueFish

For "projects": brackets (really new opensource editor written in html and javascript!)

 

PHP / MySQL

Aptana Studio 3

To be honest, if you are working on a big project with PHP, Aptana Studio is just awesome because it has a built-in server, so you don't need one yourself for PHP

PHP has built in server now

[EmmetCooper]

Code::Blocks 13.02 / VIM and G++ - C++

VIM - C

Eclipse - Java

Sublime Text Editor/VIM - Haxe

Sublime Text Editor/VIM - PHP/Other Web Dev Stuff

Sublime Text Editor/VIM - Python

Sublime Text Editor/VIM - Ruby

Sublime Text Editor/VIM - LUA

Sublime Text Editor/VIM - Shellcoding / Other Exploit Dev Stuff

 

That's about it.

I use Sublime Text for just about all of my projects, which are mostly in PHP and Ruby (Rails). I do have the occasional C++ project, and even then I stick to Sublime. The workflow (or lack thereof...) may seem a bit strange, but it's incredibly productive for me.

I also use IDA Pro (reverse engineering), not really an IDE but it's probably the best $3k+ I've ever spent on software.

[CaptainJolly]

Assembly Java and C++ Visual Studios 2012 Express

 

And for every other language including English I use Notepad++ lightyears ahead of notepad. :=P

Qt Creator

[Heisenbleurgh]

Sublime Text 2 for pretty much anything. You can add packages to it so really you can use it for any programming language you want and it's very customizable so you can end up with a very minimalist workspace.

[KingLuvely]

Netbeans for class/Java and VS 2012 for C++
