Question for web developers: which of IDEs do you use? [HELP]

Question

Tell about your favorite IDE and explain in a nutshell, why do you like to work with it?
Is it compatible with different languages?
Are there any IDEs that support a few languages?

Answer 1

I don't like to use IDE's for web development (I'm very happy with Sublime Text 3 and maybe vim) but I've use PhpStorm for a few projects [PHP (symfony), AngularJS and MySQL] and it was great

Answer 2

Webstorm is a great professional IDE for web developers. However, it is not free. If you are a student with a .edu email you may be able to get an annual license for free as long as you are in school (not for commercial use though). There is a 30 day free Trial though. It will work for both front and back end languages such as, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Go (Golang), Etc.

Otherwise, you may want to go with something like Atom, Brackets, Sublime, Eclipse etc.

Answer 3

It's all about you

I do not like to use IDE because many of them offer tools that I do not need and some are really heavy and slow

On the other hand I already have a workflow with the tools I use and I am quite productive as well (I have my editors configured according to my needs and I have been collecting ways to automate repetitive tasks)

Answer 4

It's really not waste question. Actually I'm looking for optimal IDE.

Answer 5

Thank you very much! Actually it is very interesting differ - some developers prefer IDE, but the others somehow doesn't like it. Why is it so?
On my opinion, IDE's make work more comfortable and fast. What is advantage of manual labor?
