What text editor do you use? - Developers

Hey Programming, I use Notepad++ for most of my stuff, unless I'm working in an IDE obviously. I want to change text editors though, primarily to feel more programmery, as ridiculous as that sounds. Maybe I just need a new color scheme or something. Something that makes me feel cool while whacking on my keyboard. What text editor do you use, and why? I started using Notepad++ because of hearing about other people using it, and a lot of people use it. I was thinking about checking out vim, though. I really just wanted to open this discussion because [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXHHtBAByUQ&t=3m0s]I'm dying to know what editor this is,[/url] but I'd also like to know who uses what.

Notepad. Motherfucker.

I mainly use gedit, nano for some small stuff. On Windows I use Notepad++. I've also wanted to learn how to properly handle Emacs, but I didn't really get around to it.

Notepad++ on Windows, gedit on Linux.

You could try gvim, available for windows, if you want to feel like a ~programming kool kid~ It seems to be designed with keyboard-only use in mind, centering around the letter keys so you don't waste time reaching for the mouse or the arrow keys.

Microsoft Paint :smug:

gedit\nano or sublime text

gedit

Visual Studio 2010 for C#, Notepad++ for everything else.

After learning vim defaults to my 80 col convention, and learning from my awesome new coworker that editor was most likely vim, I believe its' a match made in developer heaven. I feel dirty using Notepad++ now.

sublime text 2

Vim on Linux, Notepad++ on Windows. I'd use gvim on Windows I guess but the font is ugly and I dunno how to change it :saddowns: [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=amcfaggot;28907782]After learning vim defaults to my 80 col convention[/QUOTE] Maybe it's because a VT100 terminal is 80 columns wide? :3:

[QUOTE=Overv;28910537]More likely than you think.[/QUOTE] Fucking wizards. Also, I use Eclipse, but that's more out of not knowing how to work without an IDE. :smith:

Dammit, Overv. That gif kept freezing my browser. :v: Edit: It doesn't even like me scrolling past. :frown: Edit2: How is this dumb? 'tis a true story. 8.4MB gifs hurt.

Python IDLE.

I got hooked on gedit when I was working on linux, so that's what I use now.

Dreamweaver

Preferably Geany, but Notepad ++ is also good.

Nano all the way.

vim and/or gedit on Linux. Depends on what I'm doing. Notepad++ and/or gedit on Windows. I tried using the Windows port of gvim, but everything feels just a little bit 'off'.

I use vim. (gvim on Windows and Linux, MacVim on OS X). I used to have the same issue for its use on Windows that others have stated, but I've tweaked out my vim config files enough that it works nearly* the same on all platforms. * The only issue I have on windows is I still rely on the mouse to paste data from out of the vim buffers. "+gP feels too weird, and to be honest, I should remap it to `<leader>p` or something similar. You can take a look at all my config stuff [url=https://github.com/sahchandler/dotfiles]here[/url]. (For the people who were having problems getting gvim on windows to behave with fonts, take a look at gvimrc. You'll find a hint :P)

Notepad/Sublime/SciTE/Microsoft Word. Depends what I'm doing.

Notepad++ and ProFont.

Thanks for the new font!

VS2008 for C/C++, Notepad for everything else. Fuck, I should download Notepad++ sometime.

VS2010 for C# and C++. Notepad++ with Consolas for everything else.
