5 Best Code Editor You Should Be Using

1K Blog Marathon: Day 14

Being a programmer, we deal with different code environments, platforms, code practices, and with this in mind, we should be coding in good framework with syntax color highlighting and other tools.

As for me, writing code is not only putting text to a text editor, but creating a poem that either will soothe the user’s heart and soul or will give you so many exceptions.

That’s why in search of the best code editors out there, here are my top 5 list.

1. Visual Studio Code

Created by Microsoft, VS Code is a lightweight yet powerful tool for being a hacker- I mean, to look like you are hacking something!

2. Notepad++

This is my best code editor before, until I found VS Code. This is not your typical notepad. It’s a notepad on steroids. It’s very simple to use and also lightweight.

3. Sublime Text

When my college classmate tell me about Sublime Text, I quickly jumps in and download it. But when I’m using it, I’m quite not impressed by the speed it loads my folders and files, compared to Notepad++.

4. Atom

This is by far the slowest on this list. But the UI is very good. Started in Github, Atom is now owned by Microsoft. Although popular to many programmers, I still prefer not to use it.

5. Notepad

Nothing feel so real when you are using raw. The only problem with notepad is syntax highlighting is never used or is lacking. It’s just a plain white canvas.

So that’s it guys you have known my top 5 code editor. It doesn’t matter which editor you are using, as long as it serves its purpose. Still, my bias is in VS Code ^_^

Thank yo and come back tomorrow for another tech blog!
