Answer 1

Never been able to use vim nor ever wanted to learn how to use it, but Notepad++ is good if you set it up correctly. Visual Studio is slow for me most of the time but I use VS if I just need a clear day on some code without having the editor get in the way.

Answer 2

VS Code and Sublime are very good (Both are my main editors, especially VSCode since it has several plugins that make things easier for me)

Atom is good, but it spends resources highly (in my opinion) and it takes time to start (especially with large projects or very long files)

Vim is very good, but its learning curve is high, it's still worth it

Brackets, like Atom is very slow to start and although I have it installed I do not use it too much

Notepad ++ I've never liked it very much, it's not because it's bad, it's mainly because it does not attract me aesthetically

Answer 3

Visual is good. VS getting good choice from c++, c#, visual basic etc.
And Sublime, he is pretty cool, hah~

Answer 4

i use sublime and really like the ease of use, but brackets has an advantage of the live preview.

Answer 5

I've been using sublime for a while now and it's been efficient enough for me

Answer 6

Brackets is my choice. I have tried Atom, but it just doesn’t feel right.

Answer 7

Wow! @GrahamHartle,
I also like Bracket cause of it Live Preview.
