I'm looking for a good IDE for web development. Any advice ?

    I use numerous ones depending on what I'm coding/how I'm feeling.

    Coda2 is a good editor that supports ftp and just has more of an IDE feel.

    Atom and Brackets are free, use a clean interface and have tons of useful plugins.

    sublime should suffice

    Visual studio code is pretty swell.

    Thanks everyone. :) I will try them all. Atom looks really cool with all these packages though. And it's open source. I like it.

    Atom it's not an ide but it's amazing it's what I use for everything I do.

    Yes, you're right. It's just a text editor. But wow, I never thought a text editor could offer so much feature.

    if you love your life use -> webstorm or phpstorm

    if you hate your life use -> vim

    @rookiepatty I have a webstorm license, and have actually started using VS Code. The beta was terrible, but it rocks now.

    if you are working with grunt and some sort of clients, definitely use something like Atom or VS Code and do all of your compiling and generation via the command line. I've been doing this with Ember.js and haven't even wished i was using and IDE.

    I use brackets on my Windows machine, and WebStorm on my Mac. WebStorm is totally worth the license though.

    @bleestein That's exactly what I was wondering about Webstorm. Is it worth the license ?

    @cedricmaillot38 I think so. Brackets is still my favorite of the free ones I've tried, but WebStorm is a solid beast of of tool to have to get the job done. Never tried Atom, though. So make note of that in my disclaimer.

    Don't forget to check out the NetBeans, its free, reliable and a joy to work with!

    I second, third or fourth WebStorm or PhpStorm, which seems to have all of WS's features plus development tools.

    JetBrains products (like Webstorm) are all free with a student license and they're great

    @StefanH In all fairness, most of the others do this too. :) I think vs code is faster and easier to use though.

    @StefanH VS Code is growing on me. I use VS for all my .net stuff (what else would you use? lol) but for my js/web and Python I've been using Atom. That said VS Code had been getting some great updates and Atom, while it's package support is greater, hasn't been getting many first-party feature updates. Seems I'll probably be alternating between the two as one improves over the other.

    Jeybrains products like Webstorm offer a free license for open source projects.

    Try brackets. It creates a local server on your machine to test on.

    I used sublime for years and recently switched to Atom. For me, it really is better. Try different things and see what suits you. Webstorm is a full IDE but a lot of people I know, including me, have tried it and hated it.

    Webstorm, you can't go wrong with webstorm at all especially if you actually learn the IDE
