As the title says, what are your preferred editors?
I personally use Atom most of the time, sometimes I use Sublime-Text and Notepad++, depending on the task, however time consuming tasks and projects are usually done in Atom.

For smaller things (1 - 2 files): Notepad++, for bigger projects: PhpStorm (it isn't free, but ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, Ahoy matey).

Back in 2013 I used just to have some kind of VS like syntax highlighting xD I'm luckily not a web developer though. Looks like MS now recommends using VSCode.

Notepad++ because I like how it loads files so fast.

For solid projects (C#/C/C++) i use VS13 (even tho i have VS15 aswell), for little projects (the ones made of just one file, just C/C++) i use SublimeText combined with GNU GCC (as i work on Windows i use MinGW) compilers.
Back for some little projects made in php i used notepad++.

Atom is the way to go for me, no matter what language I'm coding in. Only exception is when I'm loading large JSON or XML files, as Atom tends to crash when loading those. That's when I use either NP++ or Sublime Text 3.

Depends of how seriously the code is.

For high severity projects that need be styled, indented, organized i recommend those two: Phpstorm or Webstorm (if your project it's front-end use Webstorm, if is more backend use Phpstorm, since webstorm has more Angular, etc features)

For editing over SSH, and need be directly under terminal, i use Nano. For editing over SFTP, FTP etc, i prefer using Sublime 3 or Notepad++

For editing simple code files, our small projects that doesn't are so much important, or simply writing test codes, or fast codes i use Sublime 3.


Don't use Atom, is a poop. An Editor made in HTML + Electron? STFU LMFAO. It's lagging. HTML & Javascript are one of the languages that more consumes hardware resources!!

Don't use Eclipse, Atom, Windows Notepad or Netbeans, both are shenanigans.

Just to clear up all this confusion, I assume we are all talking about PhP and not PHP.

What do you think about Ms. Notepad?

I don't touch PhP any more (even though its best language ik xddd), but the last front-end projects I've been working on have been either Angular or some other JS-framework. Typically, I've been using WebStorm, but I've also been testing out other more light-weight editors as I've felt that it became sort of over-kill to the small edits I did on the code for my project anyhow, at least for the last project where all I did was extending existing stuff. Editors like Atom and VS Code was sort of slow when I started it from command line as there's a noticeable lag between hitting enter and the editors is ready. So I've recently been switching all over to Sublime Text in favor for Notepad++ as it is starting to feel old compared to other alternatives.

Bluefish,brackets,comodo edit and sometimes Notepad+. Notepad++ is free that's why most of the people use that software in place of others, And it is good also. I am also making a website with php but and just took services to check its code is correct or not.
