For me its IDEal - code folding, dual windows, functions, locals files and arrays all available in panes on the right hand side.

Whats your fave and why?

Well. I use Ted21:


Shown with the find panel and color panel active.
Everything is properly color coded with icons, profiling, color mixing, and lots of nice editors built right in.

Here's the binary file viewer in operation: :D


it's super quick and restores to the last state when closed/reopened

colored tabs is a very nice addition too

What I use currently for creating games. The default GameMaker Studio 2 default IDE. It looks pretty ugly but once you're used to how it works and tweak it to how you want to work, you get by just fine. Put many, many hours into this beast over the last couple of years.

Previously, in my Blitz days, my productivity went through the roof as soon as I purchased and started using Blide. Just a shame I had to completely abandon it once I went to a Mac because it wasn't supported. I miss that IDE and I'd have a parallels set up now just to still work with it, if I ever decide to go back to working on NG again.

Notepad++, but it's more of a text editor than IDE. 
It's so lightweight, fast, lots of cool features... love it. 

RemiD

yes, i use notepad++ (or is it notepad 2 ?) regularly too...

Notepad++ is better than anything Sibly ever produced.

I do like the Visual Studio and Delphi IDE's but when doing PHP / HTML / CSS / MySQL and stuff like that I love TextMate.

Super fast, it's never crashed on me and I've never lost any code using it. It's a winner for me ;D

The price for longest code lines goes to ... Qube.
You can place the price next to your "Am not using prepared statements"-price already on your shelf ;)
(Don't use static salts and a single md5, maybe "password_hash()" / bcrypt  to ease the pain to hash in hash in hash ... ). Nonetheless the code looks pretty leak and clean.

Jokes aside.


Still do not understand why people prefer this "dark mode" editors (just look at this forum here: the post form uses "bright" widgets). I favor the "bright" ones ... and with energy saving on your screen it does not burn into your eyes as people blame.

Geany for me:


Use it for almost any text work which does not really require extra tools (so editing some Python, some PHP, shell, ...). Swiss army knife for sure. Notepad++ on Windows then (albeit it looks a bit hmpf ... "outdated" visually on Windows 10. Not a biggy tough.

@Ron, yeah white backgrounds don't melt the old eyeballs as you infer, although Display Screen Equipment risk assessments encourage you to lower the brightness and contrast to a low level, thus reducing eye strain for those of us who spend long stints at monitors.

Thanks for reminding me to lower my contrast when I get to work laters.

maybe some of you will laugh at it, but i worked on a project using a computer, with a guy who was in his sixties, and to prevent tiring of his eyes, he used something like this :

@Derron I'm near-sighted and this condition makes you more sensitive to bright lights. A dark theme is much more comfortable for me to use. Also, I think it's more elegant.

Regarding women though, I'd go for any and all colors =D
