I'm a bit confused. Are you moving to windows from a different development environment and looking for windows specific stuff? I'm not sure how you know all those languages but are still looking for "general programming software"

Based on that, I'm assuming you don't know much of any of them-

So I'd say go test drive python in Pycharm

Then why the heck do you need to ask us what IDE to use?

A text editor of your choice and a compiler of your choice.

For C# and C++ easiest is Visual Studio Community. Install and nothing else to do it works out of the box.

 

For python just install the standalone python3, Do not get tempted to try IronPython just because you like Visual Studio IDE, it's great to code yes but the compiler is very sluggish and you might inadvertently use a .Net method which won't be cross platform.

 

Javascript (node.js, bootstrap.. whatever), ActionScript Sublime text works beautifully.

Get IDE from jet brains. Their ide have top notch autocomplete features and they are cross platform which makes porting easy.

Autocompletion is not the most important part of an IDE.

If you don't master your programming language and you need someone to suggest codewords.

You shouldn't NEED an IDE, but you gotta admit autocomplete can save a lot of typing time. If I can hit the first letter or 2 of the function I need, and then enter instead of typing out the whole method name, that's a win in my book.

It is auto completion, not auto suggestion im talking about.
