Psh who codes on windows..

The only reason to use Windows is if you're developing Windows applications (i.e. mainstream gaming). Otherwise, you're severely hampering yourself unless you spend the two or three weeks (months?) to get all the equivalent tools/utilities on Windows that you automatically get in Linux.

Most software companies are unix/Linux shops because software as a service is the big things these days -- it's not about writing software that people install on their Windows machines anymore, but rather, about implementing services you access on the web using your browser. The out-of-the-box utility of Linux and the fact that it's free means that it's the de facto choice for almost everybody.

You continue to get more stupid as the day goes on...


For Linux I just use VI/VIM, for windows notepad++ all the way though

dont worry that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Notepad++

Vim

MacVim.

i've been using nano more and more these days, seems on the fly is the go

lack of hotkeys in other editors make me want to kill someone, it's like I'm living in 1970's with anything vi related

but still, bluefish #1 editor for GUI
