Rick Hedin 6 What IDE best for developing Lightning components?
I have followed a progression.
1. I built Lightning components on the developer console, and the documentation shows.
In order to keep snapshots of my work as I went, I copied and pasted to emails that I sent to myself.
2. I attended Midwest Dreaming, and discovered that my compatriots worked in Sublime and Eclipse, and connected to Salesforce.
That would allow me to use git, as I'm used to.
3. I tried Sublime 3 with MavensMate. I got a complaint that TLS 1.0 wasn't supported, only TLS 1.1.
4. I looked into using Eclipse with the Force.com IDE. It's not clear that environment supports building Lightning components conveniently.
5. I discovered that if you go to salesforce...devcenter/lightning, they talk about a plug-in for Sublime. Not a MavensMate plug-in. One made by Salesforce.
So my question is: Where can I go for reliable, convenient development of Lightning components?

Refer URL for Mavenmate - https://atom.io/packages/mavensmate-atom
Maybe I haven't been clear. My objective is to use git. I can't do that from the Developer Console.
To ask my question in one sentence: Does the plug-in for Sublime do Apex, Visual Force, as well as Lightning?
You can use c9.io it has both options automatic versioning of code and lots of stuff.
https://get.c9.io/salesforce/ introduced an intuitive, modern, cloud-based development environment for Apex, Visualforce, and Lightning
For eclipse base developement environment follow these instructions https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Force.com_IDE_Installation
add manual git versioning or svn of your company
My personal suggestion would be go for c9 enterprice version, you can setup one development environment for free just signup.
Lightning is IMO still in it's infancy and there aren't any great tools out there for it at to moment. We push everything to Git as well and I've found Sublime Text 3 + MavensMate + Lightning (w/ force.com cli) to be the best option.

IMHO, JetForcer is the best IDE for Lightning developers.
Just take a look at features description for lightning: https://jetforcer.com/features#lightning
Regarding lightning components coding, I am currently using to Visual Studio Code as IDE + Salesforce Extension Pack and Salesforce DX CLI.
Since I would point out that FORCE.COM plugin will be no longer supported in the short time, to replace MavensMate you may have a look to Salesforce Org Manager, which is an open source project proposing an org metadata manage with treeview rendering of the Org's metadata and works specifically with VS Code as code editor.
Salesforce Org Manager let you create any lightning items on the fly on the current developer/sandbox Org.
