It depends on the language and codebase. For a lot of projects I use the IDE that has all the tooling built-in like Visual Studio for C# projects, IntelliJ for Java, PyCharm for Python, etc.,. Log files, CSV files, various other miscellaneous files, and pretty much any other code I come across I use Visual Studio Code. Even if there is a good IDE often I'll just use Visual Studio Code if I'm dealing with things where the IDE is just as likely to get in the way.
The main thing I like is that by default I can just edit text with plenty of keyboard shortcuts, without the bloat of an IDE, but there's also an extension for practically anything I might want to do. I can also do all my command line work from it, run things and debug from it, etc.,. Guess I've sort of made it into an IDE that only has the bloat (features) I need, and not extra stuff.
