Whichever one it is, don't start the great editor wars in the comments! 😛

Could easily see myself getting *some* flack for this, but I tend to use Visual Studio Code as an IDE.

For a gui text editor, I've been liking Textadept recently. I used to use Scite.

On a command prompt, I normally use micro.

VS Code. I use it for writing FreeCAD macros in Python and editing g-code files (when necessary) for 3D printing. It’s a solid tool with so many useful extensions.

Hell, I sometimes use it to compose toots for Mastodon! (Because the character count is right there)

It's Neovim with the LazyVim distribution for me

Feel free to roast me but VSCode (not vscodium)

tmux and vim-nox with the NerdTree and jedi-vim plugins. I've only recently just got started with this setup after bouncing around other editors in the past, but I feel this one captures my workflow best.

A mixture of Kate, Vim, and Qt Creator. Vim is my favorite of the three, but it can be a bit cumbersome trying to copy between separate instances in certain cases. Kate works well in those edge cases (and for times when a GUI is handy). Qt Creator is amazing though IMO, good enough that I can stand living without Vim if I'm writing Qt code.

mostly SciTE on the desktop, vis or vi on the commandline

I program mostly in Java. I use NetBeans, Visual Studio Code and micro

Neovim when it's a quick/small thing, vscode when it's a massive project :morty:

GNU #emacs. It replaced VS Code and Neovim for me. The terminal version serves better than Neovim, and the graphical one is more feature-complete and extensible than VS Code.

VSCode for development, Mainly for the official extensions & CotEditor(GUI)/Vim(TUI) for text editing depending on what im doing.

#vim for me. For those who want to go over to the dark side, #realpython has a great tutorial on how to set it up https://realpython.com/vim-and-python-a-match-made-in-heaven/ but I find plain vim with either elflord or murphy colorscheme is good enough for me in most cases. I like VS Code too. It has replaced Notepad++ as my go to on Windows and I install on Linux at home as a backup.

Gedit! I used to use an IDE, LiteIDE, but now I'm a "Notepad purist".
in reply to It's FOSS

text editor cli is Nano, GUI ie KATE, ide...is VSCode 🙁 I know I should feel bad for that one.

First Eclipse and Geany, then Atom.
Now Atom is dead, so VSCode.
