I see 3 main types of code editors...

On one end of the spectrum we have powerful neckbeard editors like Vim and Emacs. These editors are language agnostic, offer a ton of raw text editing power, and can be heavily extended. These are CLI editors with no real GUI. They have the steepest learning curve.

At the other end of the spectrum we have powerful IDEs like PHPStorm, Visual Studio, etc. These editors are developed from the ground up around a specific set of languages. They encourage mouse use, and offer a ton of debugging and refactoring tools, etc. The main downside is speed, mostly due to their project indexing and code intelligence features.

The third type of editor bridges the gap between the above types. I think the two most popular editors right now are Sublime Text and Atom. My favourite of the two is Sublime Text. Sublime is blazing fast, and offers both neckbeard-like editing power and IDE-like code intelligence features through community packages. Here's my list of must-haves:

For several years now, many of us have been trying to keep our HTML as pure as possible. We did away with the inline style attribute (with good reason, as it was a maintenance nightmare), and we only added class attributes when absolutely necessary. CSS Zen Garden taught us that external stylesheets were cool, and that separation of concern was a good thing. "Semantic markup" became the new catch phrase.

Take the Bootstrap framework for example. Many criticize Bootstrap, claiming it's class-heavy CSS implementation taints their holy markup with too many CSS classes. However, I'd like to challenge your thinking on this. Why is Bootstrap hated? Does it really violate the concept of semantics? I would suggest most of Bootstrap's class names are semantic (ie. .form, .form-group, .btn, .btn-default, .btn-success, etc.) because they don't define the styles, but rather they point to our intended styles in plain English. This lends itse
