fatezy: Surprised I haven't seen Visual Studio mentioned here. Is it because there are not that many Microsoft programmers on here?
I'm here thinking VS is the best gift to man since sliced bread

Visual Studio is a wonderful IDE but it only supports programming languages for Microsoft Platform. Probably that is why nobody has mentioned it. I heard that you can get plugins to make it work for some non microsoft programing languages. Many Nigerian Freelance programmers have started using open source programming languages like Java, PHP, Python, Ruby and so on.

How is the Classic ASP support, I couldn't get intellisense to work right?

My problem with VS is that u have be pay $$ to get any decent functionally that comes out of the box with IDEs like Eclipse and Netbeans.

for example to refactor code in VS i need to drop $ to buy resharper whereas the same refactoring tool is built into eclipse for free. .

refactoring is available out of the box in VS2010.

Sorry, Don't know much about classic ASP support.

Turbo was crap, enough said. Netbeans was a bit overwhelming. VS was intuitive (to me)

Wow!

That was an award winning IDE, I started programming with Turbo .
Maybe you used it when there were more sophisticated IDEs on the market. There was also solid integrated debugging.
Borland made the best compilers and IDEs back then...

Seun: I used to love Netbeans because it supported multiple languages and it didn't impose any structure on projects, but since netbeans 7 dropped support for Python, I've been stuck with Netbeans 6.9.2.

I'm trying to pick up Eclipse because it supports most Open Source languages and tools (e.g. git) very well, but I find it to be far less responsive than Netbeans and much less flexible (for example, you can't include source directories outside your project directory)

I agree with you. And yeah even the latest netbeans IDE 7.1 does not support Python Integration. I really like netbeans because of its Visual Mobile Designer tools when working with J2ME

I use sharpdevelop for .Net, eclipse for java and devc++ for c++

I use Codelobster for PHP development

Eclipse for everything.

I have seen the light, I am now a disciple of the great Church of Emacs (http://churchofemacs.org/).

Ye dearly beloved brethren, deliver thy selves from the throes of darkness, and ascend into the glorious light of Emacs (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs).

I was once in darkness like you my dearly beloved, I was seduced by many lusts (Pycharm, PhpStorm, Sublime Text 2 & 3, Atom) but now I have received salvation. Please follow the path of illumination.

To install:
Debian, Ubuntu et al:
$ sudo apt-get install emacs

Arch:
$ pacman -S emacs

Redheart, Fedora etc:
yum install emacs

Window:
(choco is from chocolatey [https://chocolatey.org/])
$ choco install emacs

After installation (to really fall in love) pick one of:

OR

Nusphere IDE, Netbean for java dev. And finally visual studio for window softwares/app dev

Wingware IDE ---> When I am in pyMode (love it to bits especially for monolithic projects... import wx...> code completion hits you in the face)
Visual Studio--> @work mostly where c# is the order of the day. Intellisense like no other (Not too lazy but i'd rather hit TAB than type too long)
eclipse --> for the bouts of java i occasionally fall into (eclipse is erm: mas o menos ::: imo better than netbeans)
Textmate/Notepad++ --> All things HTML and Javascripty (Textmate = Mac ::: Notepad++ = Windows)

Delomos, does sublime text have intellisense? mine is Visual Studio by the way

Whts best IDE for web development on Linux OS's like Ubuntu?

netbeans...php

Jedit on Ubuntu is starting to impress me.
