Text editors

Edit literally any kind of file

  • Visual Studio Code: Free! Has a billion extensions and supports a billion languages (like R, Stata, etc.)
  • Sublime Text: Not free! Also has a ton of extensions and lanugage support
  • emacs / vim: Free and powerful, but ancient and terrifying

  • Ulysses: Not free. I use this all the time. Great for larger documents (like articles, dissertations, books)
