What is your most used IDE? Is it also your Favorite?

Do you use the same IDE for every MCU or do you use different IDEs for different manufacturers?

This poll is about which one you use the most, but feel free to comment below if your favorite is not the one you use the most.

How long have you been using it?

Which popular IDEs are missing from this list?

    Netbeans is still a thing? That brings back nightmares. Why isn't 'vim' on the list?

    Arduino. Yes, it's my favorite. I may have been using it since it first came out. Long time. Jupyter Notebooks are new to me but I'm liking them. I've also use ST Cube.

    Ah Turbo Pascal. Bringing back memories of old. I have no idea what IDE this would be but it looks familiar... similarly with programming Fortran.

    same here, I skipped QBasic in favour of Turbo Pascal.

    I did a whole product line using Turbo Pascal and kept me busy for nearly two decades.

    Now I recall QuickBASIC IDE! IDEs were so new to me I didn't realise I was using one.

    Loved text-based UIs. QBasic / Quick Basic and GW-BASIC were the first IDEs I used. Turbo C and Turbo Pascal came later. Love their simplicity.

    Joy  GW-BASIC and dBase III.  Self taught from the physical manuals that came with the program.  I was actually quite good - back in the day.  Took classes but already knew everything they taught. Joy  Man, those were fun times. Relaxed
