Text editor for coding

I see lots of posts asking about text editors for different languages, and see most people recommending the likes of CodeBlocks, Eclipse or Notepad++. Try Vim. You will feel sluggish for the first month or two, but after the initial learning, you will never stop using it again. It is just too powerful, specially for coding. I could spend hours talking about the pros of vim in comparison to other editors, but I will just put a link here. www.viemu.com/a-why-vi-vim.html Why do you use your editor of choice?

CodeBlocks and eclipse are not text editors per se. They are full IDEs with the ability to compile some code "automatically". Text editors are visual studio code(a pretry good one), sublime text(a better one) and other ones like notepad++(as you've said), brackets or adobe edge code. I personally recomend sublime, has never let me down and contains a lot of plugins for code creation and formatting, apart from others.

@testing003, I am aware that they are full IDEs, but I was talking about what people usually recommend in posts asking what is the best editor. Anyway, why do you like sublime?
