I tried Sublime 3 and it could not open a library = back to VS code

Okay, there are some exceptions, probably

.
I'd not go the open source route unless had to but I tend to work with larger companies with decent budgets.
In spare time do use OS languages such as Perl and Ruby and Java.

Went from sublime text 3 to VS Code myself. You can install different plugins based on what you need and the overall look is simple but pleasing to the eye.

I really like brackets, but the one decent ftp plugin for it has been stopped. I tried atom out and found it almost too rich, but keeping it going for now as i see it has potential

Depends which backend I am using. If C#/.Net then Visual Studio. PyCharm for Python. If it's purely some javascript/html work, then VS code.

I love Atom.io however it does seem to be slow which is getting better with more and more updates. If I just need to whip something up quickly I will use Sublime or Notepad++.

I use PyCharm for all my web development needs. Python is so much better than PHP for web development in my mind.

while i actually really enjoy using Laravel framework (the only one i enjoy with PHP) and think it is fantastic. The huge benefit with python is its useful for more than just web development. It just makes sense to hit up python early on. And obviously its a pretty fantastic language too.

I'm actually in the process of learning of C# and the .NET Core platform and am enjoying it at the moment as well. But Python, C and C++ are my goto programming languages when I have something to do. Hopefully by adding C# to that list I'll have a good way of making Windows desktop apps which is something I really want to do.

I enjoy C# too, not much of a C/C++ guy.

I'm currently starting to play with rust a bit, so far enjoying it though i've not sunk my teeth in.

I keep hearing good things about Rust.

I have just started learning Elm so I thought I would try out VS Code properly at the same time. Enjoying both.

I'm still using notepad++, but Atom is also installed.

Atom has been useful for reading behind the lines a few times, showing unexpected characters which n++ did not!

Always been using Notepad++ out of habit. Tried Sublime but never stuck with it.

Might give Atom or PHPStorm a try though.

I'm warming a lot to vs code, primarily because of .net core development is now entirely possible on it. Fast, working intellisense, very customisable. F# has never been such a doddle outside of full fat visual studio before.
