#32I'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.

#33IntelliJ, for almost everything...best $50 I ever spent. Seriously, Java, PHP and even my first Rails project. Missing my favorite MVC framework(CI) for PHP though. Wait for the sale.
Are you anticipating a sale soon? I've been eyeing IntelliJ IDEA for a while, but only expect to use it for hobby projects so I'm having a problem justifying the full cost. I do need some of the features in the Ultimate edition to make it worthwhile, too.

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.

#38Eclipse + Flash Builder for the occasional AS3.
Eclipse for toying with Android dev.
I went Dreamweaver 3 -> BBEdit -> TextMate -> Vim. I. Can't. Look. Back.

#39I have many favorite languages for different tasks, because I don't try to make one language do everything, and it takes less time and effort to make a language do things for which it was designed.
My favorite functional language is Haskell, my favorite systems language is Go (I should do more Limbo programming in Inferno), and my favorite object-oriented language is Ruby.
My favorite production-dependency-management language is my own build tool credo, followed by Plan 9's mk.
My favorite document language is UTF-8, followed by LaTeX if I actually have to make it look pretty.
