      I use coda for all my text coding, one advantage is the ability to edit files via ftp/sftp so that you don't need to edit a file and then upload it.

        None of the above. I use standard editors like Gedit (or Atom), terminals and tools like ftp for FireFTP with Linux/Gnome. Using FireFTP (or FileZilla), I can edit files in place and transfer them forth and back. That's enough comfort, and I have full control over all steps.

            I use BBEdit which already works great the Py boards thanks to built-in FTP and remote command options. Also excellent for digging into the MicroPython C implementation :)

            Would love to have it working in Xcode one day.

              Emacs, with TRAMP for FTP access and currently ssh.el for a terminal on the serial host. Might try ser2net one of these days.

              This is the problem with focusing on plug-ins rather than basic plumbing. We all use different environments. Providing plumbing (file transfer, script transfer, etc.) lets folks roll their own interfaces for their preferred environment.

                I use Atom, but as a fairly basic editor rather than an Integrated Development Environment.

                It's a glib comment, but for things like this my "IDE" is the Unix shell. Same point as @jasonriedy is making really.

                For as long as the runtime does random shit like this, I'm not going to trust any plugin anyway, because when things don't work I won't know whether the fault is in the plugin or on the board, and will have to fall back to reliable low-level tools like telnet in any case.

                  How about mu? It's developed for the micropython port on micro:bit. got the possibility to upload files, a repl and a super basic interface. there is also a port around which works with esp8266 (kind of ;) )

                    I use Atom and rshell, which covers most my needs. They just updated rshell so it can do recursive copies to files and directories, so I do not need FTP anymore.

                    I am hoping that something like rshell can be integrated into atom or PlatformIO, which is atom based, so that I am not using a single tool for a specific product but an environment I can do pretty much everything with.
