Code Editors
VS Code
This editor has become the most popular among developers. It has a great community and a healthy plugin ecosystem. It's super flexible and contains most of the features you would expect out of a modern code editor.
Check out Awsome VS Code to setup your perfect environment.
Vim
This is my editor of choice, but it's not the easiest to learn. You use shortcuts for everything which makes it fast and easy to perform actions, without taking a hand off of your keyboard. I find that this helps me stay in a flow state and be more productive. Read more.
Shells
Macs now come with Zsh as the default shell so this will be more and more common for developers to work with.
Zsh - https://www.zsh.org
Otherwise, the default before that was Bash.
Other Shells
