Favourite editor for programming

There are many projects which work on InterSystems products, and they are not always written only in ObjectScript. I think some of you working with different programming languages and already have some experience with other editors, and hope you already have a favourite online editor. 

My current choice is VSCode, whereas you may already know I have added an extension to support ObjectScript.

So, what's your favourite editors.

Quite interesting results, Notepad++ got the same place with VSCode. Is anybody can explain what are you doing there?

And somebody checked online editor, could you share the link, please?

Notepad++ is an editor on steroids. So is VSCode, sort of. Why are you surprised?

I use Notepad++ for most of my quick editing of .js, and .yaml files, and all my docker files.  Not for heavy coding of a big project.  That goes in PyCharm, since my real coding has been Python lately.

other: XMLSPy for XML/XSD/DTD editing

of course I also use Caché Studio

straight Notepad
Notpad++ especially for JS also some XML if XMLSpy is to heavy

Atom is quite good as well. VSCode has better intelisense in my opinion. For Cache Object script we still use Cache Studio, what do you recommend if we need to switch to something else? Can you compile though?

Atom, yes, forgot to add it in the poll.

VSCode can do a lot already, not yet as powerful as Studio in some cases, but has some other features which do not has Studio.

And compile of course one of the first features which was implemented there.
