Ask HN: What IDE do you use?

#1
I been learning HTML5, CSS3 and JS raw for a while now and played with a few IDEs.

Bracket visual studio code JetBrain WebStorm intelXdK

I guess different training sites use different Editors or IDE. Which do you prefer? is there one that seem to stand out for most developers in the work Industry?

Visual Studio (for .net) and vim (everything else), contrary to many vimmers will tell you, it is an IDE, just not a very good one. I'm expecting that to get a lot better though with the feature set added in vim 8 and things like intellisense services (https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-roslyn), rust and other languages are providing similar tools.

I've gone from ST2 -> WebStorm -> Atom -> VS Code

I prefer code now because its features are nearly on par with WebStorm but it runs far faster than WebStorm or even Atom.

About 6-9 months ago, it was still a bit behind on features but they've just been rolling out improvements at a furious pace. The integrated terminal you can open with ctrl + ` is super useful as are some of the auto checking features. If you use something like TypeScript or Elm, you'll get detailed debugging suggestions on hover any time you save a file with any errors.
