What OS do you code in?

I've done almost all of my coding in windows/DOS. Which is ironic, because linux is odviously better suited and the all around better operating system. But for a newbie like me, the development tools just flat-out suck. Borland may be windows, but I belive that you must use the right tool for the job whenever possible.

Since I havn't got one machine running windows, I would have to say Linux..

Even java-applets I code in linux, and when they work there, I try them out on windows platforms.

I do all of my C++ coding in MS Visual C++, I've yet to see a better development environment. I have a program that quickly converts the MSVC project files (dsp) into Makefiles that are about 80% complete for building on UNIX. Works in FreeBSD and Solaris, I rarely even bother with Linux.

For Java coding I use Oracle JDeveloper in Windows or occasionally Sun's Forte for Java.

PHP and other HTML related stuff I generally use HomeSite 5 and Dreamweaver.

For all other UNIX type stuff (perl, shell scripting, etc.) I use vi on whichever platform I'm working in.

Almost all of my production code runs in its complete state on Solaris or FreeBSD, ocassionaly in Windows.

I code in Windows most of the time. (Forte for Java these days) Other times I use some Unix/Linux flavor.

Not that I'm a professional programmer, or even a very good one, but I do everything from either linux or bsd, with VIM.

The action you have attempted could not be performed as your session appears to be invalid. Click the below link to attempt this action again with a new session.

that happens to me whenever i try to vote on any poll.

for java i used TextPad4 with the syntax stuff, for asp i use ... TextPad ... for perl - textpad, html - textpad, vb - vb6

so yer

windows.

I generally code in Windows because I currently don't have the time to learn how to use another OS.

For ASP and HTML I use ColdFusion Studio. I played around with CFML, but I really didn't see any real advantages over ASP. It also turns everything pretty little colors so its easier to see where things begin and end.

For Java I use JCreator, its an older version, but it was free and doesn't have a trial time period like the newer versions.

I use VB6 and VB.NET quite a bit as well.
