Editor
I started coding in 2014 with Brackets mainly because it had the most powerful live preview back then, it was perfect for a beginner like me. I switched to Atom when it came out, it was great but it was slow so I switched to VS Code in 2018.

I use Horizon :
I also made a Prism.js theme for Horizon

I use Fira Code :
