    If you're developing with HTML/CSS/JS, then Brackets (http://brackets.io) is the way of the future. It's grown a ton in the past few sprints, and will continue to grow in the upcoming ones--for instance, in the next sprint, sprint 21 (or 22? not 100% sure), they'll be completely upgrading to CodeMirror 3.

    If you develop in other languages, I can't recommend Sublime Text 2 highly enough.

      For frontend Brackets must be great, and it's definitely the future. I'd like to try it, specially for the Live Preview part. Most of my coding is frontend, and most of my frontend is already on Inspect Element in chrome, so I might as well work with a live preview software. So i'll be trying that in the next project, even though everytime I open it it feels alien and a bit buggy to me. But I'll give a look at the intro and tutorials to see how I adapt to it.

        I totally know what you mean by the "alien" part; it feels more so like that now than it used to, actually. They used to have HTML menus, but in the last sprint they switched to native, which feels very strange--it doesn't really fit in with the design of the app. Other than that, though, it's a really great app with an ever growing amount of extensions, mods, and features. You'll love it.
