Preferred code editor for web development

VS Code (Free) (Multi-Language)(No Preview), Atom (Free Opensource) (Text Editor) or Adobe Dreamweaver (expensive) (Live Previews) (Code Editing) (Easy Insert editing).

my fav is sublime text or visual studio code

VSCode for sure. It has the best feature set and are continuously upgrading their app and extensions on a monthly basis.

I use visual studio code! They have good plugins but simple text editor like notpad++ still my favorit

VScode + inteliphense and color bracket2.
simple and clean.

For php,html,css always has beed used Notepad++ simple yet perfect, also has bunch of addones

I mainly use WebStorm, it is a amazing IDE for JavaScript development.

Personally I use Brackets from brackets.io. It's lightweight, and also can deploy folder as Project based ediiting. So All files on the project's folder is added. We also can search text/string in all files in the project. Pretty good and simple for a beginner.
