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...

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

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
