As a developer be it Newbie or mid-level or professional these code editors are very important for building our project, as a Web developer, Mobile developer even a Game developer will definitely make use of all these code editors.

1. Visual Studio Code

Our top pick for a code editor is Visual Studio Code. It is strongly advised for software development and "We Love VScode."

REASON: Vscode is an IDE by default and has several add-ons in the Vscode marketplace that simplify life for developers. These add-ons range from customization to the ability to create code snippets and run your own servers directly from the IDE. I enjoy using VS Code because I try using Sublime text this year which is another code Editor but I can really say that VS Code is the best for now and I will advise a newbie or someone just coming to the tech space should try VS Code first.

2. Sublime Text

Although sublime is not an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), it is useful for developers since it has built-in search, a distraction-free mode, and an incredibly customizable user interface. you can upgrade your copy of Sublime Text. Sublime text is really a lightweight text editor because I can remember when my system was bad not very good now but then I can not use Vs Code then the best option when your PC can't handle big files or folders then make use of Sublime text.

3. Atom

Atom's modular design also enables you to install the package and convert it into an IDE for the programming language of your choice. Atom users can choose from over 2,000 packages and 600 themes.

Atom also allows sharing using the Teletype package and which is owned by Github.
