What program do you use to write your code?

[killertcell]

I use kate (text editor on linux) to write all my code. Back when i was using windows i would use visual studio for vb.net. But i dont code in vb.net anymore, so i use kate, and i love it. I can open the terminal directly from kateand compile the files with g++. I do plan to move on to an IDE eventually(if i do).

emacs under *nix, and often notepad++ under Win.

[Peter87]

Geany.

[viliml]

dev-c++;
_{YES you all I know it's deprecated, old, stupid, and everything, but my dad won't let me upgrade, so I dont screw up my computer etc. etc. so......}

[CoAstroGeek]

gedit or NetBeans if I'm local. Vi when working remotely

[Splux]

Visual Studio 2012 RC.

I love the blackness...

Its all about Code::Blocks for me.

I use vim, but depending on the project I use Code::Blocks.

@ Moschops / ne555 / Peter87

Any reason why you use text editors ?

[Moschops]

Any reason why you use text editors ?

Because I'm editing text.

[ne555]

Actually I use vim (on tmux, on ratpoison)
A text editor because want to edit text. Also, hate the mouse (laptop).
Tend to kill X once in a while too.

¿Your reason?

Edit: later, syntax highlight for other languages and integration (by instance using scp to edit remote files)

[o1vk4iN6]

I like vim for that reason, convenient to be able to use an editor without a mouse.


@Moschops
Also yes you are editing text, but why not use Wordpad on windows instead of notepad++ if that is the only reason ?

[Moschops]

Late reply, but that's life.

Because Wordpad is a terrible text editor. I want to use a good text editor. I'd like to use EMACS, but generally windows machines I use are not my own and it's bad manners to install programs on other people's machines and I can run Notepad++ from a USB sitck (plus, EMACS scares WinFolk, but Notepad++ looks familiar to them).

Emacs. It's elegant and efficient, what more do I need?

[BHX]

Vim, Geany, Anjuta, KDEvelop, QtCreator for editors and normally command line for compiling.

[oldcrow]

Vim on Linux (sometimes Kate if using a KDE-based distro) and when working remotely. Bluefish for everything web related, Eclipse for Java, CodeBlocks for C/C++ and most recently (I just start practicing) Visual Studio 2010 Express (with Visual C++)
