I use vim, with a powerline, ctrl+p, jedi, fireplace, python_editing, vim-rails, solarized, and a moderately-sized .vimrc.

I find it's ubiquitous and, at least for my editing, I have all the features I want like doc/source lookups, repl integration, etc. I've been using it for a few years now, so my speed is greatly improved as well.

I run a tmux session and work out of a terminal, which is usually on a remote server piped via ssh to my machine. I find a lot of comfort knowing I don't have to worry about what machine I have on-hand, as I'm all set-up on the server.

A variety depending on the project.

vi editor for general editing and single file edits that need to be done without opening a whole IDE -- I love vi overall, notepad++ when on Windows machines as its code editing and syntax highlighting is nice, but it doesn't get in the way like an IDE can at times,

For IDE work: Webstorm for node.js projects, PHPstorm for PHP projects, Visual Studio with the Power Tools plugin.

I'm not really a developer, I just happen to write software now and again. All my editing is done inside GNU Eamcs. It is portable, can be configured to do everything I want, and it is very very stable.

The only exception to using Emacs is that I compose all my email inside vim.

Nothing beats Visual Studio for me. Great debugging features and lot more integrations like git etc and not to mention the publish feature. yes VS can be bloated but it makes life really easy.

Sublime text is another one if you want to consider light weight editors.

VS is hugely bloated for small-average sized applications , but for above that , there is nothing , seriously-nothing on the market that might compete with it.

It feels bloated because it's more like an environment and less an editor. Using it for small apps is like replacing a hard-drive in a fully equipped garage. You need only a screwdriver. But all those tools on the wall are making you feel a bit intimidated.

vim with Ctrl-P and a small .vimrc This convinced me to make the move from Sublime Text full time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_l_DL8ysQQ [Video of Robin Ward creating an Ember component using vim]

I really like vim but until neovim is ready (to support ensime on vim) I'm going to stick with IntelliJ.

IntelliJ might be good on other OS , but not on linux.

What do you have against netbeans? That's why I put a question mark after my comment.

I have used sublime and textmate. They where fine but not my style. I don't work on MSFT code so I wouldn't use Visual Studio.

I don't understand why I would have to grow up?
