What's your favorite IDE for the programming language that you use?

I'm curious about what types of IDEs that people use. I use PyCharm, and sometimes Eclipse for Python. I am very interested in hearing about what other IDEs and for what language that you use it for, and whether or not its Open Source or paid.

WebStorm is pretty good for general web development

Thanks, WebStorm looks pretty good. Just not willing to pay JetBrains any money. Thanks for the comment. That being said, I use the Community Edition of PyCharm, which I do like very much.

For Python, I use the built in Python IDLE. For Java, I use Eclipse. For HTML, CSS, and javascript, I use Notepad++. For PHP, I use Sublime Text 3.

Hope this helps. :)

Notepad++ and Sublime Text are more text editors, and IDLE is 'ok'. Looking for more of an IDE like eclipse. I used Eclipse for Python as well, it's not bad. Thanks.

Depending on what I'm working on, I like to use Visual Studio Code for most of my coding. I'm primarily a Java developer, so at work, I generally use Intelli-J, the community edition.
