That last part is mostly true but still pls no

vim is great tho

On Linux I always just use Gedit; on Windows I've used Notepad++, as well as Netbeans IDE for Java and Atmel Studio for AVR stuff. I also use MonoDevelop whenever I do stuff in Unity, although when I did pure C# I used Visual Studio (although it was a bit different 5 years ago…)

And ed doesn't waste space on my Timex Sinclair. Just look:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root          24 Oct 29  1929 /bin/ed
-rwxr-xr-t  4 root     1310720 Jan  1  1970 /usr/ucb/vi
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  5.89824e37 Oct 22  1990 /usr/bin/emacs

Of course, on the system I administrate, vi is symlinked to ed. Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K; and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!

Notepad++ or Visual Studio work fine

Yep. It's relatively lag-free and easy to use.

ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!

Brackets is all you need. It has almost everything you would want, if not you can install an extension to meet your needs!

^ Best code editor for JS I've found yet.

I use notepad++. Its probably good enough.

TheUltimatum

I reccommend Notepad++ works well for most things. (I love that it supports UNIX line endings.) If you're looking for an IDE I reccommend IDLE for python. (Not fancy but does a good job.) I hear dev-c++ is nice for c++

JGames101

I don't know about anyone else, but I just use notepad++. It's easy, simple, and gets out of my way so I can just write.

TheMatrixKid

Emacs. Emacsemacsemacsemacsemacs. (web-mode might help, too.)
