What text editors are you using? 🤔
The title is self-explanatory.
I am using Visual Studio when writing .NET because of the great tools. VIM for the terminal editor. Visual Studio Code for everything else because it is light, simple and has a lot of extensions.
Now it's your turn 👍
IntelliJ for what @alourie calls 'complicated languages'. Mostly Java for me.
VS Code for everything else. The plugins ecosystem simply has everything one could ever dream of.
The reason I love VS Code so much, is simply its responsiveness. Even Atom which used to be my favorite Editor is not as responsive on large repositories of files, or just very large files.
Sublime text is fast, but not free nor open source.
Yea VS Code is relatively responsive even on my slow laptop and the extentions provide everything I might need.
Just came across this today: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium
Finally found an easy way to say good buy to the forced telemetry and even the Microsoft branding.
Brackets

What do you like about Brackets?
Vim for everything except java or identically complicated languages.
I pretty much only use VS Code at home and work for coding and notes
even when I write (blogs, fiction, etc.) I use it as my text editor with some settings tweaked
vim occasionally too
Can you please elaborate on the blogs, fiction writing part. Are you using some extensions that help you in a certain way?
It's mostly styling changes like font, theme colors and some settings for indentation and word wrapping
I'll also use a word count extensions if needed
Thanks for the info!
Visual Studio Code, more or less exclusively 😁
I had my time with both Sublime and Webstorm, but it just doesn't make the cut.
VS Code is great but nothing beats the times I used notepad++ 😁
Haha, I remember my time with notepad++ 😜
We didn't last long, I must admit...
Cute.. ever heard of emacs?
