text editors
Code writing programs
Text editors are software applications for creating and modifying plain text files.
Unlike word processors, they typically don't format text with fonts or styles—just characters and line breaks.
Programmers use text editors to write code; writers use them for distraction-free drafting.
Features range from minimal (Notepad) to powerful, with syntax highlighting and search-and-replace: I do all my coding in a text editor.
