I've been programming since college and most of it has been in boring black and white text editors. Programming has changed a lot since then. Now there are really cool fancy text editors out there that make the job much easier! Contextual color coding makes reading code easier and aesthetically pleasing. Smart autocompletion finishes means you can code more in less time, with fewer keystrokes! If you're writing a lot of code from scratch - check out Atom!
Thanks for reading!
