Vim is not a normal modern text editor. Vim is very difficult to use compared to most text editors, but if you put the time in to learn it, you get to be very efficient.

 

The others are standard text editors. I recommend you try Atom and Visual Studio Code, both have great plugin systems. In my experience Visual Studio Code is much faster than atom. If you open a large file in Atom there can be a noticeable  delay before the syntax highlights. To be fair its been a while since I have tried Atom.

 

Brackets, Komodo, and N++ are all good standard editors. N++ has a fast and reliable find and replace engine which is handy.

 

In order of personal preference for me its Vim>Visual Studio Code>Notepad++

 

If you don't want to learn Vim (very likely) I would suggest Visual Studio Code, for its speed and how easy it is to add functionality with the great extension system.

 

Since these are all free, give them each a try and see which one you like the most.

In Windows you can use notepad. Or if you are really hardcore, you can use the Type and Copy Con commands in the Command Prompt (just remember that Copy Con inserts lines at the beginning of the file only, so you have to write your stuff from bottom to top).

If you are using linux you can use notepadqq (an exact copy of notepad++), or if you're really cool you can just use vim in the command line.

If you're on windows Notepad++, for mac TextWrangler, Linux I'd go with Vim, or Nano if you only want to do basic stuff.

Brackets. It is pretty great for web design and front-end stuff.

Notepadd++ is simple, free and works for many languages.  However, it's not an IDE.  It will color certain parts of your code, like variable types or HTML tag, assuming you have the correct language selected - but it will not help correct mistakes in code.  I do like N++ for HTML because it's fairly lightweight and lag-free with quick load times.

Aptana studio 3 is good... It's sorta like eclipse but designed for web languages. As well as this it also has integrated FTP uploading to your web server which I find useful.

Sublime Text 3, is da best editor ever

[Dat Guy]

I mainly use Windows but I was forced to work on a Mac for a while. Up to that process, I switched from GVim over Sublime Text to GNU Emacs and I don't miss a thing (except, maybe, Sublime's killer feature GoTo Anything). Especially when combined with Emacs's web-mode package, it's pretty much the best editor you could have.

 

Admittedly, it's C-x C-s instead of C-s for saving your stuff. So what?
