Most of the software I write is in Java and usually meant to run in servers. So I use IntelliJ IDEA, which is a Java and Javascript IDE. It is really the best desktop software I have ever used, and is my favorite app bar none. You can rename CSS classes in an HTML file and they get changed in templates and in Javascript. It can detect a CSS code fragment in an HTML style tag in a Javascript string, and autocomplete it correctly against your imported stylesheets. This is mindblowingly awesome stuff. I simply don’t get the text editor wars of TextMate vs Sublime, etc. As far as I’m concerned this is like arguing about which is the better hand-pulled rickshaw when an anti-gravity hovercraft is sitting nearby.

Non ha torto per niente!
