Which type of IDE do you use? Paid or Free? - debjit - 04-23-2021

Hello, do you use a paid one or a free code editor? I don't use freemium one. I use sublime text it's free to use for life, but I am thinking to give VS Code a try.
What do you use? 
VS Code, sublime, atom, brackets, or any others? Share with me.

I honestly use Xcode for everything, it's primary purpose is Apple Ecosystem Development, but the code editor is spectacular and using home-brew you can compile python, ruby and other languages to allow Xcode to run code.

I would say almost one of each type listed. I mean, there isn't a IDE that can handle ALL the existing languages. Right now I am very happy with the paid solution of the JetBrains' Suite. It is paid but I got it for free thanks for my student status. Their IDEs are really good and I think I will become their customer as soon as I can afford it.

I selected also "freemium" because IntelliJ and PyCharm IDE comes with a "Community Edition" which is totally free but with some funcional limitation: you miss the support for enterprise stuff, that's is logical...

Regarding the totally-free I would call NetBeans or Eclipse in... but I got used only to the first one. Unfortunately I am using more often IntelliJ than NEtbeans due to the superior support and better life cycle of a project.

There is not a "right" tool for something. You can adapt as you like. What yoy pay is the comfort of a superior support of the common development processes.

Yes, the right tool does not exist yet. I love sublime because it's just so simple and runs smoothly like anything. I am now using vscode because it's free and has a lot of plugins available.

There is a huge difference between a Text Editor, such as VS Code and Sublime Text, and IDE, Integrated Development Environment. Don't mix them in a single categories. You are right, VS Code is cool but it can't perform as well as a IntelliJ due to difference aims. 

The thread is title "Which type of IDE do you use", so I think VS Code is not apropriate.

I had used Dreamweaver for a long long time. More than 10 years. It worked great for most of the scripting languages which are used for web development. Especially for all HTML and PHP stuff. Once I have moved to WordPress I have started using it less and less. Also, it's getting way too expensive. These days I use SublimeText for Python.
