Voxera115738yVim is my preferred choice when remoting through ssh to a linux.
But otherwise I prefer notepad++ for text and vs2016 or linqpad for c#. -
When you're learning a new platform, maybe holding off using IDEs for a while might be good.
When you just want to be productive, choose what makes you more productive. -
Scipi218yI'll use sublime on my computer, but whenever I'm working through a shell I usually have to use vi.. Once you learn how to navigate and issue some commands, I can see why people swear by vim and emacs: Your hands never have to leave the keyboard.

ytho10778yvim is great when you need to quickly edit a file without having to launch another program or if you're in an ssh session but other than that I prefer to use the IDE.
