This more along the lines of regular text editors. Bluefish is aimed to be more of a HTML type editor.

Emacs definitely suits my style best. No need for commands to insert text. More features than I can comprehend at this point in our relationship

I'm still really frustrated with editors, which is the most freaking important upper-level app on the box. In console, I tend to use joe unless I'm in mc and just hit F3/4 and I usually use nedit in X. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to vote for what I use or what I think is the best. I voted for nedit because I probably use it most and it's pretty good, but I *want* to use vim in both environments if I could just get the hang of it. Maybe next year.

I know that polls regarding editors are very hard for the organiser/mods and very sensitive for the participants/voters ... But I still have to nitpick here.

At the very least, you should break this category further...
Command Line Editors
X-based/GUI Editors

And another thing, categorising jEdit as a mere text-editor, is over-simplification... I'd say it's more towards an open-ended general purpose IDE/editor... And would be better compared with apps like Eclipse or Quanta.

But, this is just my opinion

Kate gets my vote. A strong text editor, with all the benefits of emacs but without the hassle. vim, would be my second choice as my CLI editor.
