What are you using to edit your code?

Would be interesting to know if you use an IDE and if yes which! Share with us some info about how you work!

[galdikas]

I use CONText.. Only one I ever really used.. Probably PHPAcademy's fro youtube influence lol

[rulerofzu]

You can usually find me logged into a linux server programming using pico

I think notepad and vi should be separate options as they are completely different :P

[a_bertrand]

Zeggy: true but they are simply the most basic tools you may use, that's why I placed them in one option.

[sniko]

I use Crimson Editor (:

[Danny696]

What if some people use dreamweaver, ugh, i hate that rubbush.

[sniko]

They would select the option 'other' ..?

[Nickson]

Yes danny, they could select other :P and thank god for multiple choice polls!

I use Visual studio for all .net related work, intelliJ for java related matters and komodo edit (free ide part) for others like php

[Danny696]

Ech, didnt see other :P

[icecoldchillin]

for my editor i like code lobster php edition but also i got my start with html pad.

[galdikas]

Well decided to change my editor... And so picked the one with most votes,..

Hm... I like the block collapse feature in Notepad++, and it looks like there is more advanced than Context. But due to different syntax highlighting i find it difficult to code. Probably just need to get used to new highlights :P But still I think that Context has better hightlighting than N++, but N++ has better features

[a_bertrand]

Komodo would be a lot smarter than notepad++. I'm actually surprised by how many of you used such tool. It's not bad, actually much better than the normal notepad (that some of you still use), however it's far from a complete IDE which can offer inline help, code completion, and even ftp integration.

[galdikas]

Wait a moment? There are people actually using ordinary notepad??? I cant believe that :D

[a_bertrand]

A good 28% ;)

[mamba]

UltraEdit32 v12 - Oldie but Goldie ;)

[Danny696]

Whats VI???

[Djkanna]

Whats VI???

[galdikas]

OK.. Just another quick word.

So I switched to notepad++, and I really love it. However, for anyone starting php, I would really recommend starting with CONtext. Simply because of way better syntax highlighting, which will really help you when starting, believe me :)

[a_bertrand]

I would say anyone using PHP should instead work with Komodo ;)

[Redeye]

I use notepad. Old school, but those who can use it and succeed are the best (and stubbornest) coders out there :P

Yep, I am that cool xD

[by best, I mean those who can be bothered to troubleshoot all the problems and do things manually]

Just wanted to clear up a little joke which may have been taken the wrong way

[a_bertrand]

Notepad will work... simply you may discover that you code at least 2x as fast with some smarter editor... But please continue to work with notepad, I will look so much smarter :p

[Danny696]

Simply because of way better syntax highlighting, which will really help you when starting, believe me :)

Surly you'd find npp syntax highlighting better if you started out with it -.-

Visual Studio for PC projects, Dreamweaver for web projects. ;)

[Djkanna]

Visual studio, I like partially however I don't use it at this time.

Notepad++ for quick edits, and usually MCCodes mods.

Vim,NetBeans and Aptana for my own projects, usually NetBeans.
