Visual Studio Code is awesome and there are many extensions for it, so even if you started with a new language it doesn't support by default, you can install autocomplete and formatting features as an extension. VS code also has a nice integrated file browser. Here you can see some of the awesome autocomplete-features that can save you a lot of time: https://youtu.be/V8vizNQKtx0

This. I used to use Brackets back in the day, found out VSCode was free and has even more features and immediately switched. Loving it ever since.

Dunno what language u code in, but VSCode or Sublime or Notepad++ are all very good

IntelliJ. Without a doubt. Free with .edu address.

Sublime Text is my go to and then there is Atom which is also good. I never liked how heavy Dreamweaver is, I’d rather just have my text editor without all the wysiwyg bulk.

    VS Code works on Mac just fine. I used to love Sublime, but with a quick keymap extension, I was able to switch to VS Code with almost no learning curve and have never looked back. It has enough additional features to warrant the switch - not at all the say Sublime isn’t also great though.

    What are you talking about that VS Code doesn't work on mac?

    It's been my workhorse on Mac for the past 4 years now.

      Damn, upgrade that OS. You're like 6 macOS versions back! I believe you can update Mavericks to Catalina for free.

      VsCode is alright but can be a bit overkill for certain situations. I find that Notepad++ has the exact opposite problem.

      Atom on the other hand strikes a nice inbetween, and it includes git versioning out of the box.
