Visual Studio Code. It has great defaults out of the box, is highly customizable and extensible, has near universal support for every programming language, and runs reasonably fast on my machines.

Yeah VSCode is the GOAT. I reached a point where I basically only ever use any other IDE if I'm explicitly told to, or if I don't have a desktop environment to work with. Or if I have to work with Java, because sadly I found the Java support on VSCode to be rather lacking.
NeoVim. Endlessly customizable, quick to start, and can offer whatever niche feature youβd like. Did I say it was endlessly customizable?
Same here. I've used vim/neovim for decades now.
I hated configuring it then (in vimscript). I hate configuring it now (in lua).

When I first started programming a few years ago, I used Python's default IDLE. After a few months of that I switched to Atom (RIP), and shortly after moved to VS Code. I've stuck with VS Code since.
I strongly recommemd VSCodeium, the FOSS-ified version
Will give this a look. See how hard it is to install and use when using a screen reader. Really like that there's no telemetry

I missed Atom a lot when it was discontinued. Recently found Pulsar which is a community continuation of Atom, and it seems to be quite active.

IntelliJ IDEA
Emacs
VS Code, but may switch to VSCodium or Neovim eventually.
GNU Emacs
JetBrains for everything
Neovim or Jetbrains depending on the project and my mood.
I just use a stack of cards and a knitting needle.
Helix π
Love helix
JetBrains IDE all the way. Mostly Intellij Idea, WebStorm, CLion (for Rust) and PhpStorm. Once in a while Visual Studio Code for a quick text file edit.
NeoVim.
IntelliJ. With Vim-keybinding.
Also vscode. With vim-keybindings.
I want to like vscode, and the vim bindings make me feel at home. I just don't like it though, I find it so slow for a text editor, and the intellisense seems to be very hit and miss as to whether it's going to work.
Every few months I open up vscode and give it a try, then go back to vim.

I have a JetBrains All Product Pack license, so they are always my first choice. I tried VSCode and vim, but they require so much work to get to a useable state whereas a true IDE can be used right away. I want to code and not turn fiddling with my editor into a hobby. I do use VSCode and vim, but only for editing text. And I use vim key bindings everywhere.
+1 for jetbrains, vscode feels basic compared to it

Neovim. Nothing interesting, but it gets the job done way better than anything else I tried. I had my own config until a week ago, when I switched to nvchad because of my unwillingness to port my config to lazy.nvim plugin manager.

VSCodium.
Emacs with doomemacs config. Really fast and very neat for what I do.
Spacemacs here. Been using it so long (and without major problems) that I'm afraid to start experimenting with other distros, or writing my own config.
I was using spacemacs before trying doom, from what I can tell, it's an upgrade. Doom config loads faster than spacemacs on my computers. Loving both project tho.
Visual Studio and VS Code.
Vim for light work, emacs when I need more ide features. I program mostly in fortran, c , c++, and bash on remote servers.
Visual Studio professional. Itβs so slow though. Would love to use anything else, but am locked down due to work.
Intellij for backend, VS Code for front end
Recently started using neovim with LazyVim and I'm enjoying it.
Intellij.
I use Emacs. Doom Emacs to be exact :)
Notepad++ , nano if that counts lol
I mostly code in Python and for that I use PyCharm. For everything else I use VS Code.
Pycharm
Visual Studio for work (c#), Pycharm when I need to do Python.
VSCode usually, Xcode when working with Apple platforms specifically
For Python, VS Code and Jupyter Lab. I used Sublime Text 3 previously but have found VS Code to be easier to set up and better supported over time. I do miss how fast and lightweight Sublime is this compared to VS Code though so I still use ST4 as a general text editor.
For Excel VBA (ugh), pretty much have to use the built in one as there doesnβt seem to be any alternative.
what, no love for CodeLite when working on smaller projects?
It keeps changing with the job. I've used Eclipse a whole bunch of times for Java projects, IntelliJ a couple of times. Pycharm for Python. Vim for Bash and a bunch of other stuff. QT Creator for some C++ with the QT framework. Now it's mostly VSCode.
Visual Studio
Notepad++ for non ide stuff like data files and scripts.
Occasionally Visual Studio Code. For mass text replace and some other tooling / envs.

VSCode is the best code editor around, the plugin ecosystem is phenomenal, copilot specifically has been the biggest boost to my output in 15 years of development.
Unfortunately it doesn't do everything, I got stuck with some really old legacy software and have to hop into the vb6 ide, code::blocks, and very rarely visual studio.
Multi-cursor wizardry is absolutely life changing
