Motto: This Film Is Dedicated To The Brave Mujahideen Fighters Of Afghanistan
Just wanted to make a thread to see what TTG's preferred IDE/editor is when it comes to their work. I work mostly in Javascript and HTML/CSS, and I used to work a little with Java (Fiddle around with Python in the past aswell....not my strongest point though)
What I've used in the past:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Those are just a few pros/cons I could come up with for them, I'm not an expert at programming or really an advanced user, nor do I claim to be, just a hobby I've developed over the years. If anyone else has any thoughts I'd love to hear them

What I've used in the past:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
- Very fast, with a native-feeling UI
- Costs money for extended use, but a coder who is serious about his work will consider it $70 well spent if they really fall in love with it
- Very good cross-platform support
- Default Color scheme is very easy on the eyes for late night working
- Community Support

- All the positive basics of a good Editor
- Open Source
- Extremely lightweight
- Packages and development support
- Crashes are an issue, but typically due to a 3rd party non-core package
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
- Well suited for Front end, and Web designers.
- Live Preview feature
- Extensions support
- Not as well suited for Python, Ruby, or PHP developers to name a few

Thanks for this useful post. I'll refer to it later because I do in fact need a new text editor a.s.a.p!

Would Adobe Dreamweaver and Notepad ++ fall in to this category ?

I'm not an expert in the community, but I would consider Dreamweaver an editor in a way. The issue with it though is the dependency new users may form with it, but for experienced coders it is probably an extremely useful tool
And yes, NPP (Notepad++) falls in the category, with it's Syntax highlighting and all.

I've used a few (sublime and brackets which you've already mentioned), But you could always Eclipse and Visual studio 2013.

There are more but without using them a fair ammount of use and a decent opinion theres
no point in telling others to use them.
Dreamweaver is more of a WYSIWYG editor (like Kompozer and Frontpage)
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
- Fairly robust and easy to navigate
- Decent ammount of plugins
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
- Allows you to import full websites (assuming your website is all in one folder)
- Detects items within other folders for href auto completion and CSS referencing
- ctrl+f5 to preview in a web browser using IIS express

I've been using webstorm for HTML & JS & CSS lately. It's a fantastic editor. Would recommend it to anyone!

Brackets is really fun to use although not something I often would. Usually I'm working with Visual Studio/Eclipse

I use PhpStorm for both front-end and back-end web development. It's a powerful IDE with a lot of useful features, and good VCS support. I would definitely recommend it.
I use Eclipse for Java development, with a few specific plugins that I need for work (such as Force.com IDE).
Very rarely I do something in C#, when I do I use Visual Studio 2013.
