I use multiple IDE's depending on the programming language.
Some of my favorites are Microsoft VS code which is a light weight and powerful tool
then some Jetbrain IDE's - InteliJ, Pycharm for Python and Cpp also Eclipse is good.
 
I do the same
Visual Studio for C# (because of the Azure DevOps integration) and JetBrains' ones - PyCharm, Intelij Idea and Rider

I wish there was just one perfect IDE
 
I'm the laziest programmer ever, and I have only found value on VS Code over the past few years.
I used to use Notepad++ for very specific requirements, and I've tried Sublime Text, Atom, all the IntelliJ options.
But definitely, VS Code is the only IDE that has motivated me to code at least 2x than I used to code before. I find VS Code interface so extremely amazing that It's a pleasure to code there.
And now, with copilot integrated, I feel dirty.

PS: I only code PHP/Laravel and React.
 
vs code for pretty much everything these days. Used to use netbeans, notepad++ before.

Im lazy af too but find vscode to be too bloated for its own good and go with sublime text editor each time. What made you love it?

The day I had to format my PC 6 months ago, I input my account and suddenly, everything was the same way I left before the format.

Also, the fact that everything is well-integrated with the "marketplace" and all that. Even, Copilot started working out of the box and I can't even remember how.

Be aware, I have not used Sublime for a whole while, and maybe they have this now, with a Marketplace and all that.

To some extent, I understand that it has been bloated like Google Chrome is nowadays, but ultimately, it simplifies everything to the max extent. I'm currently not priming speed of use, but ease of use. My problem is that I don't dev regularly. Maybe I have to do something for 10 days straight, and then I stop for 3 months. After those 3 months if I have to do something, for me is a hassle to get in the right mood again (and put myself in that state of remembering everything). And Sublime is one step behind in this aspect. If I primed Speed of use, perhaps I would program under Emacs like the old days (days I remember with bad memories, and they cause me angst of programming, something that VSCode has relieved)

I always have conversation with a fellow programmer who is as lazy as I am, and he also praises VSCode the same as I do. As I say, it's like a huge open door for programmers, it invites developing. Sublime is great and for a daily programmer might be very satisfying, it has a huge number of features, and it can grow endlessly, but when I had it installed back in the past, it brought me anything, but will to dev. I open it and I only see much of a hassle. To some extent, it's difficult to explain the sentiment.
 
VS Code is free, well supported and has large community behind it. Jetbrains is another popular IDE but with subscription.
 
Visual Studio Code. But I also use VIM on Arch. I also use CodeSpaces on GitHub.
 
I've used multiple, but became quite fond of VSC.

I've used Netbeans as well, but VSC is habitual for me nowadays.

For Python, I started with IDLE, but moved over to Pycharm over the last couple years.
 
I have been doing well with Vs code. And still trying to learn more of the commands

Sublime Text [Not really an IDE] I see outputs in terminal and browser

Anyone using (and preferring) VIM on Arch / Slackware, is assumed to be super smart.
 
I gave up coding for IM ages ago. But when I was a front end designer centuries ago, I used Notepad++ for coding. It is simple, easy lightweight enough and I always loved it.
