    I recommend ATOM is very robust and customizable, it's have a variety of plugins, check it out.

    For occasional use I suppose sublime.

    Sublime, brackets, atom, notepad++

    LibreOffice Word, pretty advanced and can be installed on both OSes unlike MS word.

    Well seeing that everyone else is just throwing ide without knowing what you are working with. Intellij idea, netbeans, vim

    I highly suggest using Photoshop with textboxes on both (wine on linux) as it is very easy to customize how your code looks and indentation is fixed in a wimp

    I am using Visual Studio Code.
    It works fine.

    I specially like the integrated terminal option of vsCode

    I'd sum this up by saying use whatever you feel comfortable using try them all if you have to, just make sure the IDE you use allows true cross platform. VS code is my personal favourite on both platforms but I rarely use Linux.

    Monodevelop if you're working gamedev/unity. Vs code for most other stuff

    Please God not atom.

    I'd recommend Netbeans

    I've used Sublime for general stuff for years but recently switched to VS Code because of the modern updates and features (without having to install a million Plugins, which is not ideal on 2 OSes).
    Atom would be a fair choice if it wasn't slow as shit.
    For bigger projects I use bigger IDE's. E.g. Phpstorm/Visual Studio/...

    Installing VSCode, atom, brackets, jetbrains etc... Doesn't take that long, and you'd get a good feel about them quickly, given you have an agenda.

    I love IDEA for most coding Java/JavaScript/web. My colleagues use sublime for web, and are happy with that. I used Atom when I tried the learnpythonhardway the other day, and VSCode was ok for coding in Go.

    I would also recommend just going with one and fixing stuff you don't like as you go along.
    Writing code in notepad > writing no code at all because you're choosing IDEs

    Linux: Jetbrains, Atom, emacs
    Windows: Jetbrains, Atom, Notepad++
