  • Atom

    A text editor made by the team at GitHub. Offers extensibility and user customization to suit their specific needs with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript since it runs on Electron, a JavaScript framework for building cross-platform desktop apps also built by the GitHub team. Offers a platform for user-created packages and themes.

  • Codepen

    A playground IDE for front-end development.

  • CodeSandbox

    Really acts as a solid online alternative in case you want to work on the go (mostly, for JavaScript-oriented web development). Has strong support for front-end libraries and frameworks such as React, Vue, and Angular.

    Personal comment:

    Also it works offline and mainly used for front-end frameworks so it's a double plus for me.

  • Eclipse

    Offers a wide variety of programming tools and IDEs for different programming languages and development processes.

  • Jetbrains Tools Suite

    Has an assortment of tools for different programming languages and environment; also has support for students so you can apply for an educational pack, if you're eligible.

    Personal comment:

    Recommend it a lot for the variety of tools that they're offering. Also some of their tools have a free version available so look out for that.

  • Repl.it

    An IDE for different programming languages. Also supports back-end development to be able to quickly share and test it with other people.

    Personal comment:

    Recommend it a lot when starting out with back-end development. The tool also has a hacker community behind it so I recommend you to take a look at it.

  • Vim

    A minimalist text editor that rules with an iron fist by forcing you to go with only a keyboard (it doesn't sound bad as it sounds).

    Personal comment:

    I gotta say that this is probably one of the coolest text editor I've experienced so far. Features ton of shortcuts for navigating and manipulating through the file and has an active ecosystem of plugins.

  • Visual Studio (IDE)

    A Windows-only IDE that offers wide support for different programming languages and tech stacks from mobile apps, games, desktop apps, and web apps.

    Personal comment:

    I recommend this but don't be overly reliant ;p

  • Visual Studio Code

    A free and open source platform-agnostic (found on Windows, Mac, & Linux) text editor that runs in Electron. You can visit the source code right here.

    Personal comment:
