I cant do without vi but kate gets my vote as its so pretty mmmmm.

well, i feel stupid voting vi/vim every year, but when you learn an app, it's hard to switch. especially when you find yourself using it over and over again because it seems to always "just be there" with new linux installs etc.

<esc>:wq

Can we have an option for KWrite please?

If I could vote twice, I would vote for jEdit. I have spent the past week using it and I think its a very good editor with very useful plugins.

Another vote for Bluefish. I'm coming from the Win world, and I miss NoteTab. Bluefish comes closest.

Personally, for a quick edit through the CLI, I use nano. Nano is simple, clean, and is reminds me of the old days with pine..which I grew to love despite missing elm.

However, GUI editors are a whole separate issue - personally, I like using kate, but since I really don't do a lot of programming, I'm sure I have gotten used to it not for its superiority, but for the fact that it is already installed on my distro (mdv 2006).

emacs...well, in the old days I was on the emacs side of emacs/vi. I used to think, if you're going to use vi, why not just use "ed". Since I don't program for a living, but mostly just fiddle with my config files, I trend towards the more basic editors like nano...Wasn't pico the original editor for pine?

Emacs is the best.

always vi,vi,vi

vi for one line edits and remote admin stuff.

Emacs for coding.

vi for console edit, but most of the time i'm in GUI mode, so kate is there for me

Vim Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kate is fanstatic, anybody can use it...

Ok, I may be strange.... Emacs in no windows mode (As RMS intended! ) quit when I am done and launched again when needed

Midnight Commander Editor, I tell you ;-)

vim once you get the hang of it, it is the best
