What's your favorite tool(piece of software) you use everytime you code?

[bowrilla]

Google … single most important tool.

[0x21]

I get by with zsh, tmux, docker, vim, and git. Chrome is my browser of choice.

 

[Beskamir]

VIM!

jk, I'm not a masochist that refuses to accept the existence of a mouse. I'll usually use something JetBrains makes or Visual Studio Code to write my code and then obviously the internet and bash/powershell to run my thing.

IntelliJ package. Best toolkit out there. 

I hate Electron apps like Atom and VS Code with passion.

last time I saw someone published an app then at the end of the product landing page I saw: 

 

"This app is electron free"

LOL

Shell - Bash

Text Editor - Emacs

Editor for small config scripts - Vim

 

My general philosophy is that if I touch my mouse or generally remove my hands from the home row of the keyboard while programming, something has gone very, very wrong.

i always felt that only someone who had a tons of experiences in programming will say something like this..

I wouldn't say that I have tons of experience.  It's just that in general when my hands leave the keyboard it means that something just SEGFAULTed in very strange way.

 

I have to use Eclipse for a class I'm in (because for some reason, that's the environment that was chosen) and I have to say that it still screws me up and is the single most hard-to-use piece of software I have right now.  So many submenus, ugh.  It got a little better once I figured out how to switch the keybindings to Emacs though.

[Eric904P]

I used a bunch of Jetbrains stuff I get for free as a student (check it out if you didnt know that already, any .edu email works to get a year of their resharper and other related programs)

That means i also use Visual Studio 2017

Eclipse IDE for Java

Notepad++ for anything not a "big" language (like batch, ahk, etc)

Oh and Sublime Text 3 for a few oddball things.

 

I have N++, EMEditor, Sublime Text, VS Code, and Brackets all installed on my system.  I honestly hate VS code the most, too many damn plugins for functions that I only want in a full IDE anyway.  N++ has some syntax highlighting, and Brackets is great for phython.  If I want the prompts for functions and other stuff Ill load up a full ide.

[Lichig0]

I'm surprised I haven't seen any love for Geany!

[JoostinOnline]

I love Programmer's Notepad 2. It's not really powerful, but it's lightweight and supports a ton of different languages.

[ZacoAttaco]

Sublime Text 2 is my choice for HTML/CSS and Python. Although my new Udemy course is encouraging me to try Atom, so we'll see how that goes. I like how simple Sublime is, it doesn't complicate things.

 

What's new with Sublime Text 3 anyway? I wasn't aware there was a new release...

atom is garbage compares to sublime..

last time I used it it is kind of bloated. and it's just really slow.

and it crashes from time to time especially when you import a minified file, for example, a minified js file or css file, and atom just crashes.

 

but to some people atom is really solid. I have seen multiple tech youtuber using atom.

I recommend VS Code. but to be honest, if you really enjoy using sublime, don't switch. sublime 3 has a infinite period of trail time, so you don't have to pay for it. 

sublime text is the FASTEST text editor out there, period.

I was using Visual Studio 2013 or maybe 2015. I remember it feeling very heavy at was quite a large program. I guess when I originally installed it I installed with all the supplementary packages. Is VS Code a lightweight version?

haha! visual studio is the IDE isn't it? 

VS Code is a text editor made by microsoft, imagine sublime minus a little bit of speed , plus a more user friendly extension center.

It's completely different.

Yeah sweet, thanks for the clarity. The naming scheme could be better, considering they're both named Visual Studio, but still I more inclined to give VS Code a shot now, thanks.

 

[Limecat86]

PhpStorm for most stuff (PHP, Javascript (NodeJs), (S)CSS and HTML). 

Notepad++ sometimes if I need to do a quick edit. (Mostly config files)

Thought this link might be helpful. I was going to try using Atom but it seems unnecessarily complicated and it doesn't deal with larger data sets well so I'm probably going to stick with Sublime, there's a reason it's one of the most popular. I will check out VS Code though.

[iLostMyXbox21]

notepad++ or VS Code

 

only cause my laptop cannot run VS 2016
