#22Gedit. Surprisingly good with the right plugins.

#23Emacs.
Tried it years ago and absolutely hated it, then last year I saw a screenshot of someone's org-mode setup and thought I'd give it another go. Since then it's become my main editor for coding, project organization, diet tracking and more.

#24PyCharm, so Phyton :)

#25I mostly do ASP.NET MVC development, so I use Visual Studio 2010 + 2012 with a bunch of plugins daily. I also bought a bunch of other IDE's on JetBrains' end of of the world sale including Intellij Idea, WebStorm, RubyMine and PyCharm. I have found they are a lot slower than VS 2012. I haven't worked with Eclipse/Netbeans in over a year. Other than that I usually use Notepad++ daily and I really like SublimeText - I'…
"I also bought a bunch of other IDE's on JetBrains' end of of the world sale including Intellij Idea, WebStorm, RubyMine and PyCharm"...RubyMine and PyCharm are IntelliJ plugins, check them out before dropping $$ on the license upgrade.
Will do, thanks.

#26I just converted to Sublime Text 2, using the "Vintage Mode" VI keybindings. I'm still missing a few things, but the "Vintage Ex" package and a handful of custom key overrides have gotten me pretty close to an ideal VI environment. Sublime Text is extremely customizable.
My favorite language is C, but I'm doing mainly web front-end work now.

#27I'm not ashamed to admit I spend most of my coding time with Notepad++ — I suppose I'm not a "real" programmer. I think I'll most likely switch to Sublime Text eventually though, if nothing else because of its cross OS compatibility; I just have to find some time to test if everything I use on npp is there on Sublime Text aswell.
Why the shame Notepadd++ is awesome. Sublime is just the same.

I made the switch from Notepad++ to Sublime Text recently. Sublime Text feels quite a bit more polished and was easier to get it setup to fit my needs. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

#29I used Vim for a really long time, but then got a job at a company that uses Emacs + Slime really saw the light.
Emacs is an amazing program, but really is awful without EVIL/Paredit. I don't really like the commands chaining and actually find it hurts my wrists after a day in Emacs mode. If anyone has any advice on how to maximize emacs I would love to hear them!

Please don't ignore wrist pain. If your behavior doesn't change the pain will not get better and can get much worse.
When I used a traditional keyboard layout. I bound the key immediately to the left and right of space as control. Similar to the space-cadet keyboard: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Space-cad...
This allows you to use the relatively strong thumbs to activate the commonly used ctrl key. I now use a Kinesis advantage pro which similarly allows the thumbs to activate many commonly used keys.
