Courses Plus Student 1,747 PointsYet another code editor post.
In terms of code editors, is it a case of use whats best for you ? Coming from a music industry background, it usually was that case unless you were working for a label in which case you would use the top end software and hardware, which is pretty much the ultimate in terms of music production. Is there a top end code editor ? Is there software that seasoned coders use ? I know and have used sublime text, not really feeling the setting up part of most code editors like it, i just want to jump in and start coding similar to how treehouse's workspaces editor. I have also used Dreamweaver and i am not to keen on it.

There is no best code editor or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) because it is all just personal preference. There are more popular editors but whether one is better than the other just relies on your opinion.
It also depends what language you are looking to write in. Some text editors such as Sublime Text allow you to write code in any language as it contains syntax highlighting for many many languages. However, some other editors such as Eclipse are focused on a certain language or set of languages.
