I use VSCode. It does everything I need it to and has enough plugins for different languages to satisfy the most diverse of stacks. I particularly like the way it works with TypeScript to show me auto-complete hints when I start typing a class name, the linting 'fix-on-save' stuff it can be set up to do, and the nice tight integration with GitHub (and, more recently, Team Services). Can't beat it for a piece of free software IMO.

Writing code is like writing poetry.

Every time I have to solve an issue.

I can imagine it, yes. I certainly wouldn't want to live in it though.

This one, by far. Such a shame they pulled the funding plug a couple of years later, though the region is still there thanks to the generosity of a tech university in Singapore. https://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ww1lit/secondlife

I use a dark theme for coding as I find it easier to distinguish the colours in any syntax highlighting.

I play a few musical instruments. I'm currently learning to play the cello.

With our toolset and using VSCode we get the option of displaying conflicting code blocks next to one another and clicking to choose which version to go with. We're quite a small team (of eight) so this isn't usually too much of a problem.
