nano would be editor of choice for text based and gedit/kedit for gui editors!

I always find this one difficult. KATE is very good when I am using KDE, VIM I am beginning to like, but the crown goes to EMACS (for now).

Kate got my vote but that's because you mixed the gui with cli editors. If there were seperate categories; then it's GUI: Kate and CLI: joe. Yo, joe!
