Sublime text if you are using Windows, if not go with Atom on Linux (I used it on Fedora)

PHP storm all the way. Points out all the error (syntax, sql etc) in you code. Really quite helpful however subscription is quite expensive.

Alittle old, but. Atom is the best with their new IDE

I use PHPStorm for complete projects, if not visual studio code

Java i need. but where is the download? its 10x better then php
