Personally I prefer KWrite (not in the list). It's got syntax highlighting and a load of other features I'll never use.

I edit source codes, javascripts, PHP and HTML so it's very usefull.

emacs who? Vi/Vim is the ONLY editor. Nuff said. Next category...

Jedit for me.

A bit slow but very configurable and has allot of options.
Runs on any platform so i can also use it on my Window$ box at work.

I use Emacs for editing code, but for everything else I use Pico. No need to get fancy just to change a config.

MC really does miracles in Linux. Anything. Starting from browsing and editing inside your box and finishing outside the box (I mean network by outside);)

Emacs for coding nano for everything else.

Vi is the best...
it a bit hard at start but it is really the best.

None of the above. I use the editor in mc, and if necessary to have an editor in X, I use Adie Editor. I just can't (and don't want to) get my head around the alien concepts underlying vim and the others. They're clearly from a time before usability guidelines.

nedit
 

nedit is great for those moving from windows to Linux
so it got my vote.
It's also decent for coding.

For config files and other misc stuff, I use vim.
It seems to have the cool features of just plain vi but
seems to also have no trouble with arrow keys in both
insert and command mode. Honestly, why would anyone
NOT want to use the arrows?. Yeah, some keyboards from
the late 60s might not have the arrows but I'll wait till I'm
forced to use said keyboards before I use HJKL to navigate.

Anyways, vim will get more than a fair share of votes
so I'm still going with nedit.

Editor of the Year
 

One that I've used for years for any serious work...... cooledit!

Vi(m) gets my vote!

Emacs!!
 

Emacs, of course.

BTW, GNU/Emacs is also the right answer for nearly all the other poll options as well:

Editor of the Year - Emacs of course!!
Web Development Editor of the Year - Emacs! (M-x html-mode)
Open Source Game of the Year - Emacs! (M-x tetris, M-x snake, M-x dunnet, M-x pong, M-x solitaire)
Commercial Game of the Year - Emacs, on Solaris (M-x snake)
Office Suite of the Year - Emacs!! (it does everything)
Mail Client of the Year - Emacs!! (M-x rmail or M-x mh-rmail)
Window Manager of the Year - Emacs!!
Graphics App of the Year - Emacs!! (M-x picture-mode)
Desktop Environment of the Year - Emacs!! (it IS my desktop environment)
Word Processor of the Year - Emacs!!
Messaging App of the Year - Emacs!! (M-x tnt)
File Manager of the Year - Emacs!! (M-x dired)
Browser of the Year - Emacs!! (M-x w3m)
IDE of the Year - Emacs!! (it handles debugging, coding, ediff, cvs... everything!)
Hardening App of the Year - Emacs!! (I use it harden all my systems)
Security App of the Year - Emacs!! (I use it to secure every computer I work on)
Spreadsheet of the Year - Emacs!! (http://acs.ist.psu.edu/dismal/dismal.html)

That only leaves a few categories where Emacs might not fit, such as Distribution of the Year (which should be Slackware, running Emacs).

well, i would vote for jext, but it aint up there and if it was I would be the only voting for it anyway. The only other text editor I use is nano, mainly cause it is so easy and i havent been bothered learning vim ( although it sounds pretty kool from what i have heard ), so nano gets my vote here.

i start to use vi ,and feel it's so good
