  1. Sublime Text is a sophisticated text editor for code, html and prose - any kind of text file. You'll love the slick user interface and extraordinary features. Fully customizable with macros, and syntax highlighting for most major languages.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    With its slick UI, great features and an extensive list of plugins, Sublime Text is one of the most popular source code editors for programmers worldwide. However, it isn’t for everybody. First off, Sublime Text technically isn’t free and keeps nagging you to buy its $80 license once the evaluation period is up, which is often a real drag for many who use the program on a daily basis. It is also proprietary software, which is another key issue that many FOSS proponents find unpalatable. Yet others may actually be looking for full-fledged IDEs instead of bare basic text editors, so there are many reasons why some of you many be looking for something other than Sublime Text to use on a daily basis. If you are one of them, you should take a look at the 10 best Sublime Text alternatives you can use in 2020.

    At GitHub, we’re building the text editor we’ve always wanted: hackable to the core, but approachable on the first day without ever touching a config file. We can’t wait to see what you build with it.
    Unlike Sublime Text, Atom supports the drag/drop action for files and folders in tree view, which is a definite plus for regular users. If you’re the type who works on multiple files at the same time, you’d also appreciate Atom’s split-pane editing feature. Atom also comes with a number of default plugins that make it compatible with a whole bunch of programming languages, including C, C++, C#, HTML, Java, Python, SQL and more. The inherent benefit of being one of Github’s own projects is that it has great git integration. Overall, it’s a great piece of software if flexibility and customization come at the top on your list of priorities.

    Vim

    Highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Unlike Sublime Text, Vim doesn’t have a GUI that would allow you to use a mouse to navigate conveniently, so the opening, closing, editing and saving actions are all done via keyboard shortcuts like you’d do on a terminal. While not having a GUI means it has more of a niche appeal, it is still one of the most flexible and powerful source code editors you can use today. There are also a lot of pre-configured Vim configuration files that you can find on the net by just searching for .vimrc. If you want to take the time to learn about this incredibly powerful tool in more detail, you can go over to Vim-Adventures where you can play an online game to learn about all the basic commands in a fun way.

  6. Community-driven Emacs distribution that meshes Emacs and Vim features.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Spacemacs uses the space bar as a default leader key, which is where the program gets its name from. The syntax highlighting feature on Spacemacs is enabled by default for all major programming languages, and it is configurable manually through configuration files as well as via internal commands. For all its positives, the program can be quite a bit glitchy at times. From annoying keybinding conflicts to non-functional LaTex support and substandard tab/workspace plugins, Spacemacs can be a bit much for some, but if you like your yak-shaving tasks, this could very well be the perfect project for you.

  7. A modern, open source text editor that understands web design
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Some of the notable features of Brackets include Quick Edit, Live Preview, Split View and Theseus integration. In terms of language support, the software supports C, C++, Java, JavaScript, HTML, Python, Perl and Ruby, among others. Like Sublime Text, Brackets, too, supports extensions that can enhance the functionality of the software greatly, thanks to a built-in extension manager. One thing that needs to be mentioned here is that Brackets sends user data over to Adobe servers by default, but you can always turn it off if you want to, by going over to Help > Health Report.

  8. Light Table is a new interactive IDE that lets you modify running programs and embed anything from...
    While Light Table has limited language support compared to Sublime Text, it does come with a a few nice touches, such as Auto-complete everywhere, split views and a command palette. It also comes with a good selection of themes, but one of the major negatives of the program is that you can’t view image files in it in spite of the fact that it’s based on a browser platform. Overall, Light Table is an interesting, relatively-new project that’s lightweight and fast, but users do have a steep learning curve, which may be a problem for many given how its not as feature-rich as some of the other software above it on this list.

    Most simple text editor. Just plain text, saves in .txt format.
    Notepad++ is a free source code editor which supports several programming languages under the MS Windows environment. It uses the Scintilla editor component and is written in C++ with “Win32 API calls using only STL to increase performance and reduce program size”. While the software has support for macros and plugins, it isn’t as feature-rich as many of the other editors on this list. However, its simplicity and familiar UI means that it is an easy recommendation for someone just getting into coding. While advanced programmers will probably look for something a bit beefier, Notepad++ does come with most of the features you’d expect from a basic code editor, including syntax highlighting, syntax folding, search/replace, split-screen editing, synchronized scrolling and multi-document tab interface.
