Hi

Currently I use Webstorm with the Illuminated Cloud plugin.  There is a cost associated with both (annual subscription), but I consider them a good combination to use for development and IDE management.  

In the past I have used Maven's Mate with the Sublime plugin.  Mavens Mate is no longer supported by it's developer but last i checked was still a free product.

I always found Eclipse to be clunky when I used it in the past.  And my first interactions with VS Code were not particularly positive.  

I have not used nor played with the SF Code Builder option.  But given that at any moment in time I may be logged into several different Orgs, I wonder how good it's awareness of where i want I'm currently working given it seems to be web based and therefore I guess running off the logged in user account.

regards
Andrew

ps. i've been coding Apex et al since 2013, so maybe i have a little experience
