[wp-hackers] Which editor do you use?

[Diana K. Cury]

Thanks everybody!

I find vim terrible lol Gonna try out the Phpstorm.

Microsoft editors are the best indeed, not sure but... they aren't up to 
develop anything  for php, since they have asp for choose :( too bad. I need 
to use different editors when creating themes and plugins, esp. themes, as 
most editors aren't helpful rendering css sometimes, I try everything for 
save time.
