I’ve done lots of online tutorials and in-person classes where Sublime Text is the recommended text editor for beginners. (At least at the time of this writing.) BUT if you enjoy the Sublime editor, and use it frequently, you should register it. I’ll let you in on a little secret, though: this “trial” lasts indefinitely. Website: The Sublime Text editor is not free, but there is a free trial. So dabble around and experiment with a few to see what works for you. Keep in mind, the best text editor for you is ultimately what makes you most efficient. However, I’m going to look at what’s best for beginners by taking into consideration what is most popular, easy to use and free (or affordable). There are lots of text editors to choose from. (A side note to the side note: the “!=” means “not equal” in Python, Ruby, JavaScript and other programming languages.) Best Text Editors for Beginners An everyday text editor is much more lightweight and flexible. IDEs have different panels and widgets, taking a lot more space. While almost every IDE has the capability of creating and editing plain text documents, they also include an abundance of other features. Text editors are not the same as IDEs (integrated development environment). Extensibility – (provide some plugin mechanism, or is scriptable, so a programmer can customize the editor with additional features – this is more advanced).Customizable appearance (such as modifying font size, color schemes, etc., of your editor which optimizes your work zone).Syntax highlighting (unlike your word processor, this makes it easier to read code and pick up any errors).

Ability to handle UTF-8 encoded text (also unlike a word processor).

Cut, Copy, Paste (again, similar to word processors).

Find and replace feature (so you can change a single word in the whole file with a few clicks).

Easy to use and navigate (similar to a good word processor).

When it comes to text editors, there are common features that they all share. So when writing code, you want your files to be in plain text. This pre-formatted text doesn’t translate well to the internet (or anywhere that code will be read). The reason why is that word processors have formatted text: like fonts, indentation, as well as font decoration like boldness. Word Processors include Microsoft Word, Pages and even Google Docs.
