We live in a world riddled with multiple programs that allow us to create video games, phone applications and many other projects as well. However, after some time, we may get fed up with the changes to the programs we have become accustomed to or the program may not suite our needs any more. So what do we do? Well, plenty of programs sprout up every year and deserve our attention!
Enide Studio 
Works as an Eclipse plugin, however, it is primarily an IDE for node.js development. Node.js is a fairly new programming language to me (first time I heard of it was when I signed up for my Ghost blog). Whether the language is entirely new or just making a rise on the programming scene it is good to have an IDE aimed at developing in that language.
Polycode 
I’m unsure as to how old the Polycode project is but it looks as if it will be an impressive piece of software. Although Polycode can be used for multiple projects, such as: video production and interactive video displays, what is most notable is that it doubles as a 2D game engine. The only issue I have with this program is that it requires you to perform a source code install. The website has a guide to installing the program and there are also plenty of YouTube tutorials for installing the source code and getting the interface up and running.
LimeText This project is amazing, in terms of who began developing it. Originally a user of the commercial text editor Sublime Text disagreed with the constant updates to the program and started an open source text editor project called Lime Text. Now, there are a few developers working to improve Lime Text. Currently Lime Text does not have its own installer and must be installed via source code.
Atom Text Editor 
A long awaited software developed by GitHub, the Atom Text Editor is exactly that, a text editor. It is an Open Source text editor that allows users to customize the interface with the use of CSS and there is also the ability to add other features with the use of HTML and Javascript programming. But it doesn’t stop there. The editor also allows for the integration of node.js programming as well as C++ and C. The only available installer, currently, is for Mac OSX. Other operating systems will require you to install via source code.
