vi/vim - I prefer plain vi, but vim is necessary on some dists to keep up with things like line numbers.

Despite its appetite for memory, I'm stuck on Kwrite still as a full-featured desktop editor (for scripting at least) so that gets my vote.

I currently use gedit for writing plain text stuff and editing C code, but for little shell scripts and whatnot, it's easier to pull up vim in the terminal I'm already using to test the scripts.
I'm no master at it, though (I only know i/I, d(x)w/d, w, and q!).

jEdit is the most versatile editor I have ever used (non-commercial). Although Mousepad is the best light weight editor.
