Mousepad, because it's fast and simple. I use emacs myself, but mousepad is so straight for end users...

I wish I had been able to pull the lever for Geany in this category. Even though I switched from GNOME to KDE this past year Geany is still my number one app for basic text editing. It's so much easier to use than Kate that I find myself editing text in Geany nine times out of ten.

As Mark from Ark would say...nano nano! For gui base, Gedit.

nano for CLI, Mousepad for GUI (mostly because that's what Xfce comes with ).
