Emacs. While it might look dumb or something from the 80s at first, once you discover its true power, you'll be hooked forever.

Using it since the autumn of 2000, never failed me, no matter what crazy thing I wanted it to do.



I've used Emacs for years. In my current job I also have occasion to use IntelliJ IDEA for debugging. It amuses me to note that where Emacs was once derided for being large and slow ("Eight Megabytes And Constant Swapping" was one user's take on it, back when 8MB was a lot), now it is the smaller and faster choice.
