I'm getting into HTML/CSS... don't know which one to use (IE things like Sublime, VS Code, Atom etc). What do you guys use?

Best code editor for web development (HTML/CSS)?

I've been using VS Code for a while now and really like it. I probably can't give you as much feedback as others who have used each of them heavily, but VS Code meets my needs.
I don't think that you can necessarily pick a wrong editor to use though some may suit your workflow better I suppose. Personally switch between VScode and Sublime Text depending on my mood. Either one should be more than enough for you.
Oh, Brackets might be worth looking into as well.

VSCode is pretty close to the standard now for web development. If you're doing work with javascript/typescript, you won't find a better tool. Maybe webstorm but I don't have much experience with it
Use one that has live update (i.e. when you change your code, the corresponding web page will refresh automatically), it's the best QoL feature I think. Brackets does it I think.
VS Code is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.
Sublime costs money, and the "Free" version always begs me to buy it.

I don't do web specifically but I switched from Sublime to VS Code a couple weeks ago and I'm lovin' it.
Atom is my go to, VS isn't the end all be all tbh.
Would also second the Brackets suggestions. The live view on smart devices is great.

To me, VIM and VS Code actually feel very similar if you're able to use VS Code without a mouse. That said, both of them are amazing for productivity
VS Code, and also like Atom.
I knew there would be a madman suggesting VIM, that's the only reason I came here.

I haven't heard that name in a long time. The last time I used Dreamweaver it was still a Macromedia product. I miss Macromedia Fireworks. =[
I switch between VS Code and Sublime. VS Code has a lot of customizability, and Sublime can get annoying if you only use the free version due to it periodically throwing a pop up for a registration code.
On my Raspberry Pi, I use Caret, which is a Chrome App that is essentially Sublime.

I'm a man of few needs so Notepad++ is my go to. People think I'm nuts but VS Code just never clicked with me.
Visual Studio Code, as many have said. It's really great.
I did the same. Atom started to feel like it's bloated and has a lot of bugs and felt like its development was pretty slow, whereas Visual Studio Code just felt very smooth and actively developed, and if there are bugs they get solved quickly. But it's hard to say truly objectively.
