Visual Studio
Notepad++ for non ide stuff like data files and scripts.
Occasionally Visual Studio Code. For mass text replace and some other tooling / envs.

Personally I use notepad++ just for xml
VSCode is the best code editor around, the plugin ecosystem is phenomenal, copilot specifically has been the biggest boost to my output in 15 years of development.
Unfortunately it doesn't do everything, I got stuck with some really old legacy software and have to hop into the vb6 ide, code::blocks, and very rarely visual studio.
Multi-cursor wizardry is absolutely life changing
These days I write Lisp code using the Medley Interlisp development environment. It's a vintage but amazingly capable environment that's being revived and modernized.
Mostly VSCodium and Sublime-texr
Atom
Mostly neovim, sometimes VS code
I started with Notepad++ and some CSS-specific editor (I can’t figure out the name anymore!), then switched to Brackets (RIP), Atom (RIP) and eventually landed at VS Code. I want to use VSCodium, but some of my favorite extensions are missing and their maintainers refuse to add them to the open VSCodium extension registry…
I would also like to try more “native” editors like Nova, but so far I always ran into blockers with it.
Oh, and for working on Markdown files I use the great Typora!
Bruh, you can literally just copy the '%USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions' folder to the respective VSCodium folder and those extensions will appear on VSCodium as well.
Even with VS Code and the proprietary VS Code marketplace, I’ve run into compatibility issues with extensions when upgrading VS Code. So, I’m not too keen to start managing extension files manually. And please don’t call my "bruh".
Not seeing textmate in the replies. It’s a nice lightweight one.
I mainly just do basic bash scripting on servers so i just use vim for simplicity. And I'm looking up stuff on the side in another window.
Mainly Visual Studio. Lots of .NET stuff
Used to be PyCharm but started switching to editors. This was accelerated when I started with Rust. Now I use Kate and Nano and sometimes Gedit
NeoVim
I'm pretty partial to vim.
NetBeans
Whichever text editor is available, vscode, jetbrains for the language I'm using, firefox (jupyter notebooks), etc.
VSCode, then IntelliJ, then Neovim (NvChad + awful theme of my own + Goneovim as gui frontend), and now at Emacs (Doom + port of awful theme of my own from Neovim + very heavy customization). Pretty happy with Emacs, also Org mode is astounding.
