Which editors do you recommend?

A heated question, oft asked in the nether of SO Chat. It's at the end, of course, a matter of taste and usage: Some editors are better than others at some things, some things are only possible in some editors.

So here's a list of editors and IDEs which we of room 17 use and can recommend, sorted alphabetically.

For beginners

Most importantly, here's a very short list of (free!) editors which are recommended for beginners to scripting or web-dev (i.e. no compiling necessary), aimed at people who just got into JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Bash, etc and want to get a feel of things. Just pick one and have fun!

• gedit / KWrite

# with the standard calc.py package, but for an extra $99.99 we can have a
# calc.py Premium Deluxe sent to you over the next 6-8 weeks, which may or may
# not increase your enjoyment of our calc.py product.
#for a list of operators supported and not supported (for isntance, the unary -
# is a ~) look below.
#TODO: handle parentheses.

So, you want to send a motherfucking XMLHttpRequest (XHR, or commonly and falsly known as AJAX.) Too bad, just ran out of motherfucking XMLHttpRequests; but I still have one regular. XHR is not magic. It does not autofuckinmagically send things the way you want them do be sent. It does not do the thinking for you. It just sends an Http Request.

You get a hold on such a prime beast like this:

require('http').createServer((req, res) => {
    if (req.url === '/1.js') {
        setTimeout(() => {
            res.write('console.log(1);');
            res.end();
        }, 10000);
    }
    if (req.url === '/2.js') {
        res.write('console.log(2);');
        res.end();
