What is everyone's favorite text editor and why? For me I'm usually switching between Emacs and Atom, and not really a text editor but Visual Studio when I have to shudders I like Emacs for the customization aspect, and I'm not sure why I like atom but some of the features that I like are mutli line editing, easy snippets, and pretty simple packaging system. I use the vim mode for both As for editor theme I use primarily solarized dark, but right now I using a Halloween theme because it fits the month better What does lewd use to edit text?

Im lazy and just use geany on linux and sometimes text wrangler on OS X. I started playing with atom a bit, but like why does it lag? It is the only text editor Ive used that lags.

Performance issues are because atom is built on electron I don't have any lag problems with it? When was the last time you used it? It has pretty bad performance issues but nothing to bad for me. To be quite honest I really only follow it because I feel like it will be great one day. Currently I can't recommend it, you are better off with Sublime Text 3 which Atom is almost a carbon copy of.

I use Atom and Sublime Text. I mainly use the monokai theme on both of them. 21145 because it's written in js and is not a native application.

Vim. It's what I know. I don't use syntax highlighting, so the theme is just whatever I have as fg/bg colors in my terminal.

21146 Its been about a week or two since i tried it. So not that long, when I use it on windows, basically unusable but that is understandable it is windows in a VM(but a vm with 4 gigs of ram and 2 processors with 100% execution cap). OS X the lag is not that bad but still lags a little. Text wrangler is basically sublime as well from what I understand, I have actually never sat down and used sublime, hear good things. Geany has been my editor of choice for a bit but lately ive been enjoying using OS X on my macbook, so text wrangler a lot lately. As for theme im using solarized dark on text wrangler and geany. Just used the default theme in atom when I was playing with it. 21147 That explains it.

my desktop: sublime my laptop: nano

Sublime Text master race. At some point I used notepad++. Sublime Text is beautiful , though. I use 3, but 2 is alright too.

Sublime is nice all around. I'm getting into Vim, but it's hard to learn. Nano is really nice for basic stuff.

Favorite text editors

I use notepad. I don't really have a need for a good text editor because I'm lazy and unproductive.

I use Sublime or Atom. Notepad/nano if it's just a small edit, and IntelliJ IDEA if I'm doing Java.

Tiny

Vim has been pretty good to me overall today (just started), but I feel clunky. I need.. minimalistic things to work around. It hurt my brain a lot today while doing php.

while doing php.
I found your problem

Win: Sublime Text 2
Linux: Vi/Nano

Em.

I just use notepad it's pretty annoying at times tho

Oh god, please don't. Use Sublime Text or Notepad++ instead, or my heart will weep.

futa

I usually switch between Vim and Emacs.
Mostly Vim because I can use it with ssh.

malmon

I use Notepad++ for pretty much everything. I never really liked IDEs.

In the terminal I just use nano since I haven't bothered to learn anything else.

Beard

I use to use Notepad ++ however I was having weird crashing problems, and I was also on winblows.
Since I use Linux for daily use now. I'm on that Atom grind. http://atom.io

Im also a notepad++ User i cant take other software, sometimes there outlay isn't very user friendly.

Vim. It gives that comfy feel, you know? It's highly configurable, but I try to keep it simple.
I used Gedit for quite some time before the Vim phase, it worked for me.

KazeFlame

Only for texts and other files, I'm using Notepad++. But when I'm coding, I use JetBrains IDE. PhpStorm for PHP, PyCharm for Python and IntelliJ IDEA for Java. I use dark themes too with my currently favorite coding font 'Hack'.

leaveunturned

I use Vim with the the jellybeans colorscheme for all my coding, because it's one of the few colorschemes I've found that actually integrates well with Haskell (<3 u Haskell)

For simple text editing (notes, lists, etc.), I just use Kate because it's there by default in Kubuntu and doesn't require I open a new terminal instance.

sugoiuguu

Neovim for programming, mousepad for text notes, and whatnot.

metod

I'm starting to like vim.
Brackets is also pretty cool.

tsundere

nano, of course :3

AnonMoose

Usually Notepad++ when I'm on Win and Vim when I'm on Linux. Been thinking about trying out Emacs when I find the time.

ALways vim, or an IDE with vim bindings. I use vim/gvim on desktop for generic text editing.

When i need a little more, I reach for the nearest jetbrains IDE as I find them vastly superior to the rest, and because of the awesome IdeaVIM plugin, which is really well done.

My dotfiles are on github here, if anyone wants to look at my vimrc/setup

I can personally vouch for IntelliJ IDEA
