Gedit ... I've become used to it. It is default on pretty much all the distros I have tried, and it is pretty simple and straight forward.

nano. Personal choice though as it fits my circumstances nicely: simple interface, functional, works well through SSH.
I'm not someone who falls in love with a text editor though so that may change next year, who knows?

Vim and vi -- there really isn't any viable alternative if you actually need to do text editing.

I graduated from pico to nano years ago. 
I of course use vi or vim when I feel the need. I frequently use KWrite and currently playing with Kate. |

Vim is the only one I prefer. Or is it because I spent so much time learning it that I did not get a chance to look at others? |

Mousepad for easy GUI use, and Nano for console based.
I use Mousepad the most.
