such a superior editor... |
vi is my favourite

well, when I edit in something else, ':w' and other signs of deformation are all around the text/code... I'm pissed off when I have to use something 'user friendly' knowing how ineffective it is...

When I first embarked on Linux, I was told to use Emacs. So, naturally, i started using Vi/Vim for the same reason I switched to Linux in the first place.
I got fairly proficient in it, but never quite got my head round the two modes. I could work with it quite efficiently, but it was never natural. So when I installed FreeBSD and Vim didn't install properly, I had a look at what had. nano was the first that I found, so i thought i'd try it. Like a match made in heaven. <ctrl>+<*> shortcuts are a staple of my PC, so I got on with it really quickly. Been using it since, and haven't found any problems yet. So I voted nano. |
Kate, it makes things easy.
|
I do like Kate's multiple-file thing, but I have an awful habit of getting rather carried away with the display options, and end up not being able to see half the characters. Not a fault with the editor, really, but a reason for me not to use it...
If only I could restrain myself from believing I could come up with a better syntax highlighting schema I might be able to get along with Kate. That said, I do still use it when i've got multiple files that need to share bits of code and/or I need to keep referencing each other, like an html/css/php website or something. |
I voted for vi/vim, though I don't like vim because its features can get complicated for me sometimes. I guess I still have to learn to use it.
|
I'd love to scroll through this thread. return of the editor wars ;)
|
They went away? ;)
|
Lordandmaker, that's a good point. But at least in this thread, one feels encouraged ;)
|
What? There's other real editors besides vim? :)
--Queue |
No. The word "editor" now means Kate. :p
|
for me ... its vary hard to choose between emacs and mc editor ...
//btw , i dont understand how could someone possibly write texts with a "graphical" editor ... even if you are in windows or even if you have a powerfull computer ... . |
Kate is the best when it comes to KDE
gEdit for GNOME Vi for Console |
vim.
I had to code a lot lately, mainly in php, and - sorry to say - even though there are special php editors out there, it's all crap. With vim, I have opened multiple files, found the spot where I have to change something, saved them, closed them and copied them to my upload directory before any of those other 'editors' would even have fired up... I tried two or three before I decided to read bout the basics in the vi manual. I love my editor, it's customized the way I like it, my F1-12 keys do stuff that I need a lot, for example, F4 switches to the next frame if I have a split screen, F11 and F12 jump back and forth in the history of open files and so on... the syntax highlighting is set up with colours that don't make me dizzy when I look at them for a long time. I have a bash command line integrated, what else can you ask for? Everything works fast and reliable... I haven't experienced a single problem in these 6 month of excessive 'viing' I have heard that 'ED is THE STANDARD EDITOR', though. When I'm grown up, I'll try it. :) |
jEdit is #1.

vim
vim is my choice
|
I have to disagree with one thing about this poll... while I understand how they're categorized together, even though I use KDE in an X-windows environment, I can't stand xemacs. Emacs just doesn't mix with a mouse and menus.
|
vi/vim. Haven't had time to learn emacs and it works great for all my CLI text editing.
|
I just started using vi in '06. First real use of it, and I've been a Linux user/advocate for almost 4 years now. I should shame myself.
|
I like Kate. It's simple, smart and functional.

vim and emacs, really. Even though, given the nature of my job,
vi is becoming more and more my day to day choice. Cheers, Tink |
editor
gedit is one of the easiest editor for the most types of files and file layouts.

I am a geek, so I use LOTS of 'em!
Quote:
As classical tools, I find few tools more flexible or capable than EITHER Vi or Emacs. When thrust into a systems administration role, I am more likely to run to Vi or Vim for a quick edit. For every day use, I stick with Emacs the most, and particularly on desktop environments, I reserve a desktop where I keep an instance of Emacs running. I do not have to worry about performance; it has a MUCH smaller footprint than either my Email client or my Web browser, regardless of what I use. I am also fond of NEdit, and when I take on a role as a writer, or I am creating a lot of prose that I want to fit within a rather small display, I use NEdit and format the text to whatever size and width is relevant. I could (and often) do this in Emacs, too, but it is really easy in NEdit, which caters to text composition and formatting in a graphical user environment. I mess with Kate, gedit, and I even get down and dirty with ed every now and then... but... Given only one, I'd go with Emacs every time, though. |
text
vi is my text editor
|
Either vi or pico for me.:o
|
nothing beats vi/vim :-)
|
vi rules
vim rocks gedit is simple n easy |
emacs. emacs!
Emacs: As old as the hills (only I may be older) ;) The emacs commands are hard wired in my motor control rim with connections to the rest of the brain. I was offended that I had to make an extra selection in the Fedora installation to get emacs installed. It wasn't default! Can you imagine? Who are these laptop babies who believe they will ever have a better editor than emacs? Never mind, I just can't get used to mouse clicking and not using emacs commands, messing up any document if I use anything but emacs. |
vi/vim for console is best (under correct adjustment:-)))
|
nano-great simple editing, get in>edit>get out, what more do you need?
|
Nano nano nano. Simple and gets the job done..I don't need any special features the others offer :twocents:
|
I vote vi and kate.
|
vim.
<esc>:wq |
joe or Kwrite.
perhaps cause i'm new to it. |
Bluefish
I may vote later. But the editor I use the most Bluefish is not listed.
|
thats in web development editor
|
nothing like to use vi/vim for editing.
|
vim is the best.
|
vim for console
gvim for GUI it's gotta be vi. |
VIM! The best out there.
|
Nano is just nice, but what I always use for programming is KWrite.
|
Thank God For...
Pico / Nano. Of course if I can't have either of them, then I'll have to take Vi. Too bad nobody will ever know which is best, it all comes down to personal taste really.
|
Ah man... can't beleive you left out good old Nedit from the list :cry:
Well, when Nedit is not available, then nano or mcedit fill in... |
I always ask myself: "how would I edit a text if I had my hands duct-taped to my laptop?"
And the answer has always been "vim". My vote goes to Vim, because you've got to be prepared for when someone duct-tapes your hands to your laptop. |
