What text editor & operating system is everyone using?

category: general [glöplog]
I used to use Archlinux with bspwm tiling wm setup running mostly terminal & keyboard driven applications with vim support. And of course, my favorite text editor was Vim.

However, I've recently decided to move to Win10; primarily because Windows has much better Audio Recording Software available.

Currently, I've got Visual Studio 2015 Community downloaded and am learning C++ from a book and doing little exercises and examples from the book. However, I must say, I'm quite overwhelmed by the sheer size and complexity of VS- most of the things in here, i have no idea what the fuck they are and it took me a while just to figure out how to set it up and compile at first. lol

I will most likely try using the vim extension that's available for VS and learn the editor as I learn more about C++, but just out of curiosity, is it worth the time to get familiar with Visual Studio now? is it one of the more suitable editor for graphics programming (considering it has so many features.)

What Operating System do you use? Linux? Windows?
What Text Editor do you use? Visual Studio? Emacs? Vim? Notepad++? Sublime Text? Atom?

win, vs, visual assist, codemaid, notepad++, sublime.
visual studio is pretty cool once you get the hang of it.

Processing with its IDE on Mac/Lin, or simply Nano when it comes to C stuff.

Windows 10.

Visual Studio (a couple different versions for legacy reasons, you can't go wrong with VS2015 though) + Visual Assist (makes life easier).

In my experience VS has been developed to cater to the needs of most developers, and I have yet to see an environment better suited for development. Granted those statements are biased by 15 years of VS use on my part.

If you go the DirectX route, the built-in graphical debugger in VS is an invaluable tool.

Always the latest Windows and OSX, with some flavour of Ubuntu for VM/server needs. Sublime Text 3 and vim for editing / dev usually, Visual Studio for Windows-specific stuff.

has anyone tried VsVim, Vi-Emu? or any other Vim extensions/plugins for VS?

Vim: everywhere (osx, win, linux).
VS: on windows to debug.

Win7, Visual Studio (best debugger ever, but actually i prefer the older VS versions that had less fancy auto-everything-bla). I also like Sublime. And i love vim (linux, and gVim under windows).
I also used quite a bit of QtCreator, itˋs quite good imho.

However, i absolutely hate Eclipse. Large piece of slow shit, buggy like hell, not user friendly. Unfortunately have to use it a lot during my day job for embedded system dev.

I very frequently launch Dosbox so I can use QEdit to edit things on modern systems.

But yeah other than that, Vim. Or occasionally kwrite/gedit/whatever the default editor on OSX is called (it is a billion times better once you disable that stupid persistent autosave thing.)

I ran TextWrangler for a while but ended up hating it; between the slow-ass launch time and the way it constantly wanted to re-open old documents it just irked me. YMMV.

Ubuntu Studio 15.x/realtime, and
GVim with lots of macros (like HTML and Arduino/AVR), because I don't like the biult-in editor in ArduinoSDK.
For ease of use of vim, I'vemapped left windows key to ^K code :)

btw -- anybody Emacs?

Windows 7. Visual Studio for C++, Sublime Text for everything else.

Stay inside Visual Studio for C++ once you have set it up. It's complicated but less complicated than the alternatives.

Windows 7 + Visual Studio + Visual Assist X when I can, Xubuntu + QtCreator when I must (university stuff). Also PSPad for smaller / quick things, which is similar to Notepad++.
Debugging in Visual Studio is just so much better than anything else I've ever tried.
TextWrangler on OSX,
Notepad++ on Windows

Windows 8.1, Notepad++, Codeblocks, Processing, HxD. (last year also CBM Studio for C64 stuff)

I'm mostly writing prose these days, the above are installed "just in case" and don't get much use. :)

Windows 7
SciTE for most text editing
Notepad++ for Shift-JIS bullshit
Visual Studio for C# stuff, otherwise it is a giant project builder
