Mine is eclipse to try Java programs according to the tutorials, and then Visual Studio to learn C++.

Just Emacs with syntax coloring for the buffer with code. In another buffer I run a shell to compile code and run programs.

Macromedia Dreamweaver.

Way back in middle school a friend and I started a web page business... In which we made a webpage for exactly one local company.

I assume Dreamweaver still exists as an Adobe product now? I haven't thought about it in years.

Not 'vim'. The original 'vi'.

Turbo Pascal 2.0. It was a fantastic IDE for learning to program.
