Re: Favorite IDE/Code editor?
 

For me, I use a mix of gedit (I'm a penguin) for writing CLI c code and codevison AVR for writing Atmel AVR C code (for use on arduino boards and other AVR devices).

Back in high school, I mainly used labview for FRC stuff... I didn't really learn text based languages until college (which I use all the time for projects and whatnot).

Re: Favorite IDE/Code editor?
 

I work in a few different editors based on what I'm doing.

Anything config/system related: Vi/Vim (comes on every unix based system) (http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html).

Java: Editor (see below) or NetBeans (FRC) or Eclipse (Professional work)

C++: Editor and Xcode

General: TextMate (http://macromates.com/)

I've also used/know people who have used the following editors:
BBEdit
Sublime
Nano
TextWrangler
Fraise (https://github.com/jfmoy/Fraise)
Adobe Brackets (for html/css work)
Notepad (don't use this one) :) (Please don't use it)
Microsoft Word (I'm not kidding, never use it)

Interesting! I've seen a lot of people talking about jetbrains products, I can't believe I never heard of them. CLion looks very cool, can't wait for it to be released.

Java: Intellij Idea
^^ There are free educational licenses for this so find a teacher and go get some.

Web: Sublime Text 3
Just "try" out the trial for a while....

These work out fine, but there are different editors for different projects :)

Re: Favorite IDE/Code editor?
 

IDE: Netbeans
Programming Editor: Sublime Text 2
Plain-Text Editor: Gedit
Config-File Editor: Nano

Re: Favorite IDE/Code editor?
 

Visual Studio, hands down, for C++ and C#. Atmel Studio and Eclipse-based IDEs for embedded things (AVRs, TI chips, Cypress chips, etc.). In Linux, I use Code::Blocks and vim.

Re: Favorite IDE/Code editor?
 

For general programming and classwork I usually default to Vim, just makes it so easy to actually get started and keep going.

Visual Studio is amazing for graphics, by far my favorite "heavy" IDE.

Atom, by GitHub.

I have to second this. As someone at WPI who helps write WPILib, I actually did a portion of 2015 WPILib development in QT Creator to try out the new toolchains that I was working on at the time. It is by far the best C++ IDE I’ve used. For anyone else who wants to use CMake, either via QT creator or some other way (command line), the Ubuntu toolchains come with the frcmake package, which have a toolchain definition file along with the `frcmake` binary to automatically call cmake with the toolchain file. If you aren't on Ubuntu, the toolchain file is here: https://bitbucket.org/byteit101/tool...ake?at=default
you can then create a cmake file and invoke cmake with the "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=path/to/toolchain/file" option

I didn't read all of the replies so I'm not sure if I'm being original here, but I'm gonna try anyway! There's an awesome cloud-based IDE that I use for my AP Computer Science class and for other various programming projects called Cloud9 (https://c9.io/). It's a full virtual workspace online that can integrate with Github or Bitbucket for login, plus it has a fully functional Ubuntu terminal with sudo and internet access built in. It has a lot of run configurations that will automatically run whatever type of file you're programming (as long as it's a default supported one).

For example if you whip up a quick index.html with a little dinky page and hit run, it'll deploy your page and since you're working in your web browser and your terminal is connected to the internet, it will actually serve your page over the internet and give you a link to preview it.

If C9 doesn't support your preferred language but that language has a toolchain that can run in a linux terminal, you can hotfix to get that to work as well (surprisingly, Java isn't a built-in supported language, but it is installed as a linux terminal command by default, so I made a new run configuration that used javac followed by java consecutively to make my own improvised Java runtime (P.S. if any of you guys want, I can send you details on exactly how I did this)).

Oh, and since it's a web-app and cloud based, it has a collaboration feature almost identical to that of Google Drive where you can invite as many group members as you want and everybody can be working together at once.

I would use IntelliJ as IDE, it's fast and has a good integration with GIT. In the need of just an editor I would use Vim, it's super lightweight and customizable

Re: Favorite IDE/Code editor?
 

Very slow indeed.
