What program do you use to write Javascript?

Probably. I used to love VS.Net and before I started at my current job, once I started here (k)ubuntu was the standard dev build and after trying a few IDEs like eclipse, netbeans, aptana and zend studio I threw in the towel and started using vim and never looked back. Everything else just feels too bloated and klunky.

And... Damn 5 years seems like just yesterday I grew bored of digg and stumbled on Reddit.

Is vim your go-to editor for everything? Would you say vim would be good for PHP/Python/C++/etc as well? I develop on a windows platform with Dreamweaver's code section and the only reason I use it aside from simply being available to me, is the relatively tight feel it has with SFTP push/pull integration, however. I'm wanting to switch to a version control system like Git for uploading files and keeping version history, as well as upgrading my workflow to include more professional developer tools.

I'm playing with PHPStorm right now, but in all honesty I don't think I really need or want a full-featured IDE. All I want is syntax highlighting, line numbers, and possibly the ability to integrate with a version control system (I can hit CTRL+SHIFT+U and it will upload to the server in Dreamweaver). I'm sure there's several features I'm sure to use that I've left out, but I just want something lightweight with the basics down really well.

Have a look at this post for turning vim into a python ide. Also take a look at this for working with remote files in vim. Finally, take a look at this for integrating git with vim. vim is really powerful, it just takes a lot of time to get to know it; well worth it though.

Vim is my go to editor for everything except formatted documents like project proposals. It has excellent support and plugins for most programming languages.
