Best Editor for Programming...!

[mehta_april]

Please share your opinion abut best editors, for coding ? And why ?

--- Updated Post - Automerged ---

I guess, for Mac- TextMate and Aptana are best. Both of these having Project-Window, Snippets, Comments/Uncomment, Auto-Indentation alike features.

If you are on Ubuntu, GEdit is good one because of the 3rd party plugins-support.

For general purpose text editor, Try Notepad++(Windows),vi/emacs(linux),textmate(mac)

MSVS is too expensive to be procured by an individual for personal use purposes. A Professional edition MSVS costs $15,000, so i am not sure how people are recommending it here.

Vim/emacs for anything on Linux/Unix.

On Windows.... never felt like coding on windows. Only games and movies on Windows.

 

[arun687]

Textmate for mac is one of the best editors IMO. There's windows version of textmate that I, use. E - TextEditor | The power of TextMate on Windows

Totally forgot about it :ashamed:

Here is chart to differentiate between different Editions
Product Feature Comparisons

Express editions are usefull in single developer scenarios. What hurts the most is the lack of source control.

Eclipse is excellent for Java and Android Development, but if you can afford to pay then IBM RAD is an excellent option :drool2:
