Text Editor 101
How to choose the right text editor for you
Choosing the right text editor can be a very difficult and daunting task. Especially when everyone pushes their favorite at you, and why you should use it. I have personally used most of them to some extent, and will touch on the ones I feel are the best to use in most situations. All the text editors I list here are open source, so you can fully modify and extend each of them if you wanted to; you don’t have to which is why the first recommendation is a fully fledged system.
Visual Studio Code
VS Code is a powerful text editor made by Microsoft to compete with GitHub’s atom editor. This is actually the only reason atom isn’t being recommended by me; it killed the project and shortly after Microsoft acquired GitHub.
I am recommending this editor for everyone out there who wants to use something the industry knows well, and capable of using every programming language with very minor tweaks here and there. This is possible with their plugins; these will add themes, add functionality for more languages, and the text editor can even interface with GitHub (that is builtin so no need to use a plugin for it).
