Developers may use a single editor tool for their purpose but there are many developers who use different editor tools for different purposes. Let us make ourselves aware about the five best cross-platform code editors for the web developers.
1. Atom- It is an open source code editor which was released by Github, initially it was their internal source editor but later on in 2014 they decided to release it in public. As it provides many advanced features to the developers also it has become one of the most popular code editors for web development. Its UI is exceptionally designed which enables you to divide the interface into two phases which let you compare two files differently.
2. Virtual Studio Code- It is Microsoft’s cross platform source code editor that works perfectly fine on all the major operating systems. It has been on the top of the Atom’s open source components and also is faster than Atom at both the startup and running time. Many of its features have been removed by Microsoft but a handful of new ones are added. It is customizable and you can find different themes as well as plugins in the official marketplace.
3. Brackets- It was released by Adobe and was developed specially for the web designers as well as for the front end portal developers. It can be the perfect editor software for you if you are a front end developer and one of its best features is that it allows you to establish a real time connection with google chrome so that you can instantly see the changes in the browser that you are making.
4. Sublime Text- Sublime text is already at its third release and also it is quite popular among the web developer community. Also it should be kept in mind that it is not there for free and it requires you to pay $80 to get the license for it. Although it provides your free trial and occasionally it comes with a popup for buying it because even after the free trial it does not stop you from working.
