I would have said Notepad++ until I found Sublime Text 2 (http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-text-2-new-...) here on HN. A big shout-out to you guys. I completely intend to buy a license when it comes out of Alpha.

Favourite language "C but not C++" is not available. However, i see that it does not make sense to distuingish between them, when we are talking about IDEs.

Agree. When it comes to IDE/Editors, I don't think we need to write C and C++ separately.

Why not to share results instantly?

I'm guessing this just goes into a spreadsheet, and at the end of the survey the results will be parsed into some kind of blog post.

The lack of PHP on that list makes me feel dirty for writing it in.

C/C++ ? Really? Have you met many engineers who write a lot of C and who also love C++ or vice versa because I sure haven't. I decided not to complete the form after seeing 'C/C++'. Also, this is a flag if it's on a resume that the person may not really know either language.

HTML/CSS isn't a 'programming' language.

In the context of "what is your favorite language?", I think it makes a lot of sense to separate them. I can put a checkmark on C but I can not put one for C++.
