Favorite Text Editor/IDE?

[Nexus]

Just curious as to what people use I myself am a huge emacs fan! I recently decided I should learn some Perl for whatever reason and I was told to use emacs and I instantly fell in love with it. As for my favorite IDE, that would probably be a tie between eclipse and netbeans.

It depends on what language are you talking about

For C++ i love Visual Studio Express 2008
For PHP i love Notepad ++
For Html i love Microsoft Word (LOL)

Oroton Notepad++ is just like notepad but with colors for each programming language that help you checking the code

I love PSPad. Also have tried and used notepad++ a little bit.

I don't code with text editors ever. I love and typically make full use of the tools in a real IDE: profilers, debuggers, project managers, etc. My favorites are:

Java - Eclipse Classic
.NET - Visual Studio 2010 Professional
PHP/HTML5/JS/CSS - php Designer 8
Flash - Flash IDE/Flash Builder 4

I've only really used the Freebasic IDE, Visual studio, and notepad

So i guess my favorite would be Visual studio 2010

I may actually change back to Komodo IDE. I just updated to phpDesigner 8, and after using it for a while today doing some HTML5 stuff, I am really not happy with it. This was supposed to be their big update to HTML5, and I am finding issue after issue with the Javascript support for it. It seems like their idea of adding "HTML5 support" was just adding the new tags (and it doesn't even recognize some of the attributes), while basically adding nothing in the way of the new Javascript APIs! Komodo IDE at least had pretty decent HTML5 support, and it will likely continue to build over time.
