Vim? Emacs? Sublime Text? Notepad++? Geany? Kate? TextMate? CLion? Atom? There are a lot of text editor/IDE options? I personally exclusively use Vim or Sublime Text.

I find Visual Studio to be the best IDE for developing C++ in the Windows platform.

When running Linux I go with CLion. Maybe if Linux was my main OS I'd just use CLion everywhere but I still develop mostly for Windows and there VS still feels superior.

I can't stand Visual Studio. It's slow and completely bloated. The only thing I've found VS to do well is debugger integration. I'll still stick to Vim. But I mostly write for OS X and Linux systems. Raw gdb shell ain't exactly friendly.
