I use Windows Notepad for typing assembly and C code.A GCC Compiler and NASM Assembly and link with GNU LD.

One Question I have is , Visual Studio 2010 is damn slow comparing to the previous versions.Why???
On my PC it takes 60sec to open the VS Start page.

Do you live in the stone age or something? Notepad is good for a lot of things, but coding really isn't one of them. You should check out Notepad++, its got that same Notepad feeling but it actually has features.

Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate opens up in very quickly on my desktop (3-5 seconds). Although thats with an overclocked Core i7 920 and 12GB of memory, however my system drive is a quite slow (5400RPM WD Green). Considering its a .NET application and has to be JIT'd, the loads times are pretty decent considering it's a Microsoft product.


Right now I'm using a combination of Notepad++ and Visual Studio 11 Beta. Intellisense doesn't work perfectly with C code (It assumes it's C++), but it's a very nice feature to have.

Notepad++ is good, I never knew about that, on my comp VS2010 is hopeless.
I am tring to compile the notepad++ source code, i am crazy.

VIM 7.

Eclipse CDT and eclox for generating the doxygen documentation. In the past I used also notepad++

When I'm at home on mac, I use xcode (project with external Makefile).

Sometime I do it at office, which I boot into linux under vmware player,
I use kDevelop and I like the little shell box inside IDE.

And when I tab'd outside IDE and at the command shell to test my OS, nano is quick for small code patch.

I don't use an ide, I use vim and a set of makefiles and sometimes perl for more complex work and its lovely lovely in place edit commandline.

At a push I've also been known to use notepad++ when stuck in windows though...

Vim + gcc + binutils + nasm + virtualbox + bochs, that's my working set.

fasmw for asm syntax highlighting and a batch file for making the image file and testing in bochs.

mousepad and NASM.

I used to work with Microsoft Word (yes, really) and recently switched to Programmer's Notepad.

Emacs & Terminal.

try vim cream

nano or vi for small changes.

Netbeans for anything significant.
