Text Editor of choice?

  1. So I am fluent in Dreamweaver (Day gig, since macromedia), and have used Notepad++ for modding other games, but couldn't help but notice most RM video tutorials using Sublime text.

    Since I am familiar with a free editor and overly comfortable with a costly editor, is there any unseen (to me) advantage with Sublime, for once I start getting serious and dig in?
  2. I HIGHLY recommend visual studio code. I used to use sublime text, for years I used it. Sublime text had an update, which caused over 30% usage of my CPU (it was around 2-4% before the update), so I changed while they fixed it. Havent looked back.
  3. I just use Sublime Text because it does the job for me. When I first started to learn javascript for RPG Maker MV, the tutorial was using sublime text, so I just did the same.
  4. Also, both sublime text and visual studio code are free.
  5. A lot of people also like Atom and Brackets. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the main choices really. Personally, I use VS Code and have only good things to say about it.
  6. I really enjoy using Atom. I also use Visual Studio in my production line quite a lot, so I'm definitely an outlier in having not used VS Code much. I'm sure it's great too
  7. Invaluable feedback.

    Looks like I have some things to consider.

    Appreciated.
  8. I use both VSCode and Sublime text. VSCode can work well with large files and on my weak laptop it was an invaluable helper in files that I could not manage to work in properly with Sublime text. On the other hand, I like the scrolling through text more in Sublime text than in VSCode. I also tried Brackets and Atom, but liked neither.
    As for Notepad++, I like its search capabilities. It's very fast, so I use it for code analysis.
