What editor (or 'IDE') do you recommend for HTML5 (HTML, CSS and JavaScript) development?
My current preference would be a paid solution, as I find they are greater quality as opposed to free options.
My only requirement is that it run natively on Linux.
I personally would recommend the use of Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. Using this tool allows you to add additional extensions (such as PowerShell syntax),
It meets your following requirement:
Which OS's are supported?
VS Code runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. See Requirements for the supported versions. You can find more platform specific details under SETUP.
Your languages are officially supported amd can be added through the marketplace.
Lastly, there are a few additional items I like about this tool:
JetBrains is a leading provider of developer tools for many languages and platforms.
WebStorm is their IDE for web development. That includes JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. This product offers many features.
Commercial product requires purchase of a subscription after an Initial trial period.
Runs on Linux, as well as macOS and Windows. See system requirements.
I'd recommend Brackets.
A very nice editor built for HTML5 programming. supporting other languages as well:
Multiple File Format
Support Brackets supports codes from multiple file types from C++, C, VBScript to Java, JavaScript, HTML, Python, Perl and Ruby. The complete list comprises more than 38 file types. This gives the user flexibility to work on various files of a project simultaneously.
Along with this, there are extensions available to add capabilities.
Atom IDE is also a package to consider after Facebook and GitHub joined forces in this project few weeks ago.
Based in Atom text editor, it is free, open-source, cross-platform and offers language support for all major programming languages:
C/C++, C#, Clojure, CSS, CoffeeScript, GitHub Flavored Markdown, Go, Git, HTML, JavaScript, Java, JSON, Julia, Less, Make, Mustache, Objective-C, PHP, Perl, Property List (Apple), Python, Ruby on Rails, Ruby, Sass, Shell script, Scala, SQL, TOML, XML, YAML
Geany is a text editor using the GTK+ toolkit with basic features of
an integrated development environment. It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few dependencies from other packages.
If you use KDE, the Kwrite editor is nice too, but it isn't cross platform like Geany.
