[QUOTE=ph:lxyz;29049158]vi in Linux Notepad++ in Windows TextMate on Mac OSX Pe on Haiku[/QUOTE] Crikey, I didn't know people actually used Haiku? I mean like, what do you use it for? Also: Notepad++ or BlueJ for Java on windows (because that's we have at uni, it's a first year programming course) gedit, eclipse, BlueJ (if I'm doing a uni assignment I need to take back and forth) and vim if I'm feeling brave (I still haven't learnt it all properly yet) on linux.
BlueJ is terrible... I have to use it in my AP Comp Sci course. Eclipse for Java (pretty much just Android development in Java) VS2010 for C# and C++ [editline]8th April 2011[/editline] notepad++ for everything else in Windows gedit for everything else in Linux nano on my server because I'm lazy like that.

[QUOTE=Chandler;29050198]Don't forget QtCreator! :)[/QUOTE] I dunno. QtCreater has added some kind of preprocessor or something for additions to C++, e.g. slots (callbacks). I don't quite trust it.
[QUOTE=ZeekyHBomb;29052456]I dunno. QtCreater has added some kind of preprocessor or something for additions to C++, e.g. slots (callbacks). I don't quite trust it.[/QUOTE] Nah, that's only for Qt projects. (and it's just the moc compiler :)
[QUOTE=ZeekyHBomb;29052456]I dunno. QtCreater has added some kind of preprocessor or something for additions to C++, e.g. slots (callbacks). I don't quite trust it.[/QUOTE] I think it's just qmake that's running it. You can set the Creator to use your preferred build system.
Notepad++ for high level langs like python, lua, sourcepawn Dreamweaver (coder layout) for web dev Eclipse / java VS2005 for c++/c# - should i upgrade?
Xcode
[QUOTE=LODY;29083719]VS2005 for c++/c# - should i upgrade?[/QUOTE] Yes.
VI or nano emacs can suck a dick
-snip-
JDarkRoom looks strangely nice. I can't explain why though. [media]http://www.codealchemists.com/jdarkroom/sc_1.png[/media] [editline]12th April 2011[/editline] Wait, why'd you snip that? Edit: I guess because it's clearly not meant for programming. Still kinda cool.
[QUOTE=JohnEdwards;29135639]VI or nano emacs can suck a dick[/QUOTE] I'll never understand the hate against emacs. All the arguments seem to be the same ones that were brought up in the 80s. Who cares if it takes a couple of megs of memory when you've got at least a gig. And having a lot of features isn't a downside to me, I like having an editor that can do everything I need. The only one that I can understand is that the key combinations are a bit strange to begin with, but once you're used to them you don't even think about what your hands are doing (plus you can rebind anything you like, or use CUA mode). VI just feels like a lot more effort is needed to do anything. I only use it on a couple of platforms I use which only have a couple of mbs of ram, and therefore the ancient "bloated" argument is valid.

Who cares if it takes a couple of megs of memory when you've got at least a gig.[/QUOTE] I've never thought memory usage was a significant problem. The things I don't like about it are: [list] [*]By default it mixes tabs and spaces for indentation — bad bad bad. [*]The cursor ("point") always has to be within the displayed portion of the file. If you try to scroll it off the screen, it moves to stay on the screen. So if you scroll down a few pages (e.g. with the mouse wheel) to check on something in another part of your code, you can't just scroll back where you were and continue typing, because the cursor is in the wrong place now. [*]Convoluted keyboard shortcuts that differ from the established conventions in every other program I use. [/list] I tend to use Emacs anyway for C/C++ code, just out of habit, though I'm considering switching to GEdit or some other editor.
