Just asking.

I use TextWrangler, because you can choose a language (like Lua) and key words and stuff will be in different colors.

To this day I have never heard someone say they use Word to type code.

The very thought makes my head go q.q

@Legend:

TextWrangler is phenomenal with code.

TextWrangler:
Pros: Works in Lua, and in many other types of code; highlights keywords, strings, comments, etc.; Folds blocks better
Cons: Some keywords that are highlighted in RobloxStudio aren't in TextWrangler.

Notepad++ is a boss program.
I use it for the markings in Lua, and sometimes even in different languages. (HTML, Batch etc.)

I use SciTE. It comes with LuaForWindows, and predicts what you want to type, but doesn't insert it unless you press enter. It also has code highlighting, and will run your code.

I have, installed on my computer:
-Notepad++
-Sublime Text 2
-SciTE
-Eclipse
-Microsoft Visual Basic

I only _really_ use Sublime Text, Eclipse and occasionally SciTE. I don't Visual Basic, but I did at one point.

@XxMoNkEyMaNxX,

I do too.

It's simple and works, and has some good debbuging tools.

It's quite annoying when it suggests a variable and you want a new line though. But usually that prediction feature is extremely useful.

Can't get the C++ compiler to work. It says some DLL is missing, but I can't think what that would be :/

I also use it for Batch sometimes, but not that much.

Other than SciTE I use Notepad++, but it's not installed on my computer at the moment, so I just use an online IDE/text editor for languages other than C++, Lua or Batch.

I haven't tested Sublime Text 2 yet. I'm really interested in it though. It seems popular and of great quality judging by posts in this thread, and previous threads like this one.

@SN0X I found that a good way to stop it from suggesting something on a new line was to put a comment containing alternative endings to the word.
`--doz doa elsez elsea endz enda`
else will no longer be suggested as elseif if you put this in :3

yay :D

but it also suggest variables, like, if i did this:

local mooow = 1
local mooo = 30

mooow = 1 + mooo

it would suggest "mooow" and when I press enter for new line, it would put that other variable there instead

ti's annoying when working with tables
