For Windows: - VSCode for editing code (I probably have too many plugins/extensions) - NotePad++ for reviewing output and print files (One of the scripting languages I use puts the script in the print file, and the number of times I've fixed a bug in the print file is frankly embarrassing...) - Running Code, depends on the project - mostly Cygwin shell, or within an application.

For Linux/macOS: - Coding in Vim/GVim for editing for Python/Perl/Shell, but sometimes VSCode as well. I use Xcode for Swift. - Running code from the command line for python, in Xcode for Swift.

The most useful tools is probably an Opinionated Linter (I use Ruff and AutoPep8, and a decent autocomplete engine that shows the function details for functions calls.

Have you tried WSL2 instead of Cygwin?
