Hi everyone!
Here you will find most of the code/text editors for your code.
I will point the most used , and the most enjoyable code editors as well. Since quite a lot people ask this question, i made list with some editors .
======================================================================================================+
Text/Code Editors
Most Used as i heared
Brackets - Great text editor. It has all features you can dream of. it has a live view and more!
Sublime Text 3 - A new version , or updated of Sublime Text 2.
Sublime Text 2 - Its a great text editor- similar to brackets but without the live view. Sometimes i would go and use it with brackets
Here are other code/text editors
TextMate 2 - iOS device only ( i think )
Online Text Editors
- TreeHouse Workspaces - Aviable online! Code anytime and anywhere. If its in caffe or friends house!
Mobile Development - compilers
iOS
- Xcode - Aviable from App Store ( iMac required, you CAN'T use it on windows)
Android
( Share what you use for android )
======================================================================================================+
It really depends what editors you prefer . There isn't one thats the best but it may have different features that may suit you more than others. I listed some popular ones at the top and the less heard at the bottom ( at least i think their less heard).
Hope this post helped!

Courses Plus Student 40,065 PointsHi Aurelian,
I am currently using Sublime Text 3, I like it very much but realize it doesn't have live preview and research to find preview option (found - here). Then look at Brackets another editor which is very impressive at the same time I can code with live preview updating itself compared to Sublime Text's refresh button on browsers. That's another little disadvantages.
Thank you Aurelian for great lists.

Didn't use Sublime Text 3 but i will! :) thanks for sharing it, last time when i searched for it, i somehow didn't found it .
The only think i like in Sublime Text is the style . Its how its build inside , i mean the colours and all. Instead on brackets, it looks a lilt bit worse so sometimes when I'm confident as building foundation HTML , ill choose Sublime. Since brackets doesn't update HTML live as i noticed. You have to save it and refresh .
