Did you mostly use vi to edit files? What were some of your goto IDEs?

No, I've always been an Emacs guy, and still am.

When I got started with Linux, on a 386 with 4 megs of memory, I used jed though because the machine was so limited - even back in the mid 90ies it was a pretty limited machine.

For me it was mostly vi editing perl cgi on Solaris or Linux boxes. Someone might have been using (x)emacs, but he was weird ;-)

Oh, and we didn't use source control either.

vi with perl cgi here, too.

I played a little with Java Applets. I still remember waiting for them to start up.

Oh gosh, I forgot those!

I even wrote a airline-booking-system terminal program in Java, all before swing reared its ugly head!
