Sublime Text 3

Sophisticated Text Editor For Code

Markus BodnerThingsmaker · Written 25d ago

Every 6 months or so I stick my head out and look at others like Atom and VSCode. I always end up sticking with ST3 plus a few new plugins, can't recommend it enough.

Milan ChhedaSoftware Developer · Written 25d ago

Best in the market. Extremely light weight. Has tons of plugins and ultra fast. I have used others too, but nothing comes close to Sublime Text 3.

Atom v1.0

The modern & hackable text editor from GitHub

Tania HewFounder @AbengCoINC · Written 25d ago

Good ecosystem. Numerous packages. I like using it. And I love supporting free or open source software.

Brandon MansonSoftware Engineer · Written 25d ago

This is my go-to text editor. Super customizable and pleasant to use.

Mathieu 👨🏾‍💻Written 24d ago

Atom is the easiest editor to customize. And it is totally free and open source. What else ?

Postman

Postman is a powerful HTTP client to test REST API

Abhishek BiswalWritten 25d ago

Better than all the API Development & testing tools available out there (including chrome plugins). Sync features, Collaboration & Collections make it more awesome.

Brandon MansonSoftware Engineer · Written 25d ago

I use this tool on a daily basis to test my own APIs as well as APIs I'm looking to integrate with. I cannot think of a better tool to help with rapidly prototyping an API.

Cross-platform & free robust code editor from Microsoft

Kunal BhatiaCo-founder & Design Lead @SlidesUp · Written 25d ago

Indispensable tool for programmers at any level.

IntelliJ IDEA

Christopher LeachProgrammer and Student · Written 23d ago

Adding onto what Brandon said, IntelliJ can also be used with numerous other languages and technologies, really just a great all around application.

Brandon MansonSoftware Engineer · Written 25d ago

IntelliJ is the best Java editor on the market right now. It plays very nicely with Maven and Gradle and is nice to work with for local development as well.

Cameron Banowskyhacker · Written 22d ago

Amazing. Don't even have to be developing in Java to find IntelliJ IDEA streamlining your development. built in terminal and plugins make it amazing tool

PHPStorm IDE

Eighty9 💻Web Developer · Written 25d ago

Nice to use , can run the database and terminal in one window and ive made less mistakes using it since

Tanishq SharmaEntrepreneur · Written 22d ago

Fast, apart from being an avid IntellJ user, I have grown to their syntax highlighting schemes and all other notions. (Android Studio included!)

Transmit

Jared Schafferfounder/product thetribeapp.com · Written 24d ago

So much easier to work w/ S3. Web interface is kinda sketchy and SSH is a PITA.

Brackets

Code the Web

Niklaus GerberProduct Manager Apps @NZZ · Written 25d ago

Go to App. Period

Tower for Mac

The leading Git client amongst professionals

MozammilVice President, Research & Development · Written 23d ago

Great GUI client if you use Git!

SourceTree

Naveen santhoshSoftware Developer · Written 23d ago

Supports multiple accounts, Git and mercurial repositories, meaningful visualizations. I use this to manage all my open-source and client work in the same place. I hardly use the terminal for anything related to Git.

MAMP PRO 4

James BovisWeb Designer at Laura Ashley · Written 25d ago

Great way to run a PHP server locally, especially for testing things like forms etc.

Duet Display

Rahul DewanEngineer · Written 23d ago

Works great for putting up reference material or testing quickly on an actual device with simulator

Fuse

A UX tool suite for mobile app designers and developers

Bent StamnesReal-time Graphics Enthusiast · Written 24d ago

Bent Stamnes made this product

I'm naturally biased, but for native iOS and Android development with a focus on user experience, animation and writing less code, Fuse is the s#%t. :)

Fabric

Mobile developer platform by Twitter

Jared Schafferfounder/product thetribeapp.com · Written 24d ago

Pretty awesome suite of tools bundled through Fabric for iOS development. I'm using Crashlytics, Answers, Digits, Stripe, and Branch & Fastlane for beta distribution automation.

MJML App

The only app that makes responsive email easy

Jesús BarónWeb developer · Written 23d ago

It just makes build responsive emails more pleasant. Live rendering allows you see the end result as you code and switching between Desktop or Mobile view you can see the responsive behavior in real-time.

I am a co-founder of that tool, but we are using it for our development too :)

Espresso for Mac v3

TonMac'aholic · Written 23d ago

One of the few native Mac code-editors. Has a gorgeous innovative UI and is an absolute joy to use. Comes with a very nice CSS editor with Xray mode to preview and debug your CSS stuff. Also: a host of other features that need a website to be shown. About the only thing missing is an impressive list of plugins and extensions that some of the other editors have. But they're working on that. Note: v3 used to be. It's v5 right now, as the numbering scheme has been changed to 'Sketch format'.

Neovim

Joel OliveiraDev. Founder shubox.io, thredded.com · Written 23d ago

Neovim is the future of VI* and has quickly proved to be ready for "daily driver" use. As a longtime VIM user it took very little to make the switch but I've been happy from the start. As for a more specific answer to "Why?" - the answer is "power and versatility"

nodum.io

Robin van der PloegOxygensoftware.net · Written 24d ago

A great all-in-one solution for developers.
