Favorite Code Editor?

I can appreciate keystroke efficiency utilizing keyboard shortcuts, so I was looking into VIM which I guess is more of a standard than an actual editor, and I think is popular, even included in the Linux OS.

I don’t really like many IDE’s because of the learning curve, they are an immediate delay to what I want to accomplish. Many of them are also geared towards a single language or just a few. I’ve tried a bunch of them and it takes time to learn the features and setup the environment. Then you wonder if it’s really the best or if I should keep looking. Really one of my most useful features I find is a must-have is syntax highlighting.

I finally settled on NotePad++ a few years ago. I liked that is fairly simple and not really bare bones, but easy to use and navigate with lots of extra features that are pretty easy to implement and configure.

Then I found VS Code, which is a very rich editor and quite popular in the dev community. Although it does have a fairly busy interface and does have a bit of a learning curve, the more I use it, the more I like it.

What is your editor of choice?
