Text Editor of the Year

I would vote for mousepad, which is fast, light and has everything I need...

I love the features of jed, but I have chosen gedit for now

Nylex · 01-30-2006, 10:16 AM

Emacs for me

Had to vote vim (kvim/gvim) as I used it HEAVILY this past year. But I think I'll be switching to Kate shortly. (Just wish I could use Kate in windows too)

I originally started using Kate because I was looking for something similar to Textpad or Notepad++ under Linux. You might be interested in checking those out...

Leafpad for GUI, pico for CLI

ALInux · 01-30-2006, 01:25 PM

what about jed........I find it cool and easy to use.

Nedit for gui and nano for console.

Leafpad is a great little gui text editor. But, I voted for vi.

Nano, what else?

Kate is great.

Nano (with vi/vim as a sub) in the console - overall "editing technology" and improvement throughout the year, Kate.

Vim. I use it for editing, LaTeX, XHTML, CSS... the works.

Tinkster · 01-30-2006, 02:57 PM

I should have stuck with emacs :}

These days I find myself incapable of driving emacs or vim
because I use the others way of doing stuff in each

I really came to like some of vims features, but still prefer
emacs for coding (because there's nothing that comes anywhere
NEAR to ELSE for vi).

Cheers,
Tink

Nano simple and user friendly.
