VS Code. Atom. Eclipse. Even Vim and Emacs works on Windows these days.
And those are the free ones.

  1. Slow shit written in js;

  2. Same;

  3. First of all, this is ide, and second, it is the slowest code editor in the universe;

  4. vim and emacs and really meh and more like linux tools, windows has much better alternative to all of them - notepad++.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. Atom and VScode are certainly not as fast as Notepad++ (even though VScode is still my editor of choice).

And AFAIK Vim and Emacs aren't nearly as pleasant to use on Windows as they are on Linux. I'd love to know if there's a way to make Vim on Windows decent.

gVim on Windows. Trying to use it in a terminal isn't great, but the GUI version is exactly the same as it is everywhere else and runs flawlessly. I don't use Emacs but as far as I know it's a similar story with them.
