Vim mainly, jupyter notebook for little python things

Ha, forgot about jupyter!

I use it for prototyping python, javascript as well as haskell :-)

More over, I use it as presentation software. Being able to slap together stats from i.e. jira, github and our CI system into a self-updating set of slides is really awesome :)

Currently I experiment with https://github.com/nteract/nteract to have more desktop-like experience :-)

And Sublime for all quick edits.

I use IntelliJ for Java/AngularTS/ web development and Sublime for lite note taking/editing. IntelliJ is an excellent IDE and is far superior to Eclipse. Great refactoring, code completion everywhere, and very intuitive (I am often amused how it just reads my mind). If you are just starting out, spend some time experimenting and evaluating and cultivate a fine repertoire of tools over time.
