Since I'm a little bit more active these days and this topic seems to come back once in a while, I just want to see how much thing changed in the last 10 years.
When I started in 2007, there was not much to use and I was a windows guy. I ended up using notepad++ with some custom markup I made for cc65 and I was more than happy with it. I contemplated to make my custom editor in c# but nescicide came out just at the exact same time so I gave up on that idea (which in retrospect, was the right decision ^^;;).
Now fast-forward to today, I'm back to program a little bit on the nes, been using mac/linux based on my needs at work so my tool-set changed a lot. Even though I was not fond of electron based editors (too heavy memory footprint) and tried to avoid them, Visual studio code became actually good, is now multiplatform (was not at first) and can be used with the same configuration on windows/mac/linux. With the c/c++ plugin by Microsoft and the MADS one for 6502, I can edit my projects and it smart enough for autocomplete in many situation. It's not perfect but for now it the best I found that can be used on multiple platforms. Now that I'm not specifically on windows any more, I do not use batch files but a more versatile Makefile which work almost on all 3 of them.
So what do people uses these days? Did your tools/editor changed or some improved compared to how they were in the last 10 years?
