Linux users have more text editors, IDEs, and command-line tools than a programmer can ever dream of, or rather put their hands on! There are simply too many choices. If you're looking for a free programming editor, that is just the right one for you, well look no further!
Here is a list of 5 of the 'best' programming editors under Linux:
1. Eclipse/Aptana
-Tops the list primarily because it supports everything and is supported from everyone in return!
- However, it's only as good as an IDE; while as a simple editor, well not really!
- Also it is slow, with bloated interface, prone to freezing from time to time under Linux.
2. Dart Editor
-The Editor is rather a modified Eclipse.
-Full IDE made from and for Google’s attempt to bring multi-language support in web-browsers with Dart language.
-Features automated tests, debugging, documentation, and extra libraries: all in one place!
3. Light Table
-Visually appealling, is fast and also open source.
-Supports HTML5, Clojure, Python currently.
-Live editing allows to inject code to the running DOM via Chrome Tools.
-Interface supports VIM commands.
4. Brackets
-Boasts a next generation IDE.
-Completely written in Javascript/HTML/CSS, targets Javascript/HTML/CSS.
-Runs a built in web-server that makes things easier.
-Also open source.
5. Sublime Text 3
-Is actually a Freeware
-Offers multiple selections with keyboard, auto/tab completions, and a massive list of extra packages to extend it. |  |
