#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.
I don't know, folks here tend to think you have no idea what you are doing if you don't use vim or emacs.

#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.
Unfortunately I can't gauge that at all. They don't pre-announce, I got my license of IntelliJ last December...I discovered the news here. I think they have a twitter acct which you can subscribe to, and they mention sales on that.

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.
Out of curiosity: is there anything you miss from npp? Any critical feature that isn't there in Sublime Text?

#38Vim exclusively for HTML/CSS/JS/PHP and learning Python.
Eclipse + 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 used Emacs for 11 years, but gave it up in 2004 for wily/acme-sac/acme. Now I use Acme (running in hosted Inferno) to edit all text files, mostly shell scripts and notes. My favorite shell dialect is Inferno's sh. My favorite text stream editor is sed (because I can use it in scripts), followed by the sam-like Edit command in Acme.
I 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.

#40Vim in the terminal (along with tmux). Been using vim since about 1980. Favorite language currently is ruby, earlier it was C.
