Favorite Text Editor.

What's your favorite text editor. Mines vim. This include programming and editing files. I like vim because it's on almost every *NIX (except gentoo) and if it's not on it vi is which has the same commands essentially
EDIT: Also visudo uses vi so getting used to vim lets me us visudo. Except for debian, every time I run visudo I debian I always type :wq and think that debian screwed visudo up by using nano

I'm getting better at vi, but why is kate not on the list while gedit is?

Gedit & Nano...

Just recently started to learn EMACS, and now I'm a convert. Very powerful features, which deals with text files in a way that is logical to me.

KWrite, nano, and Emacs.

"Medit" is also a good editor.

Vim is ok. For everything else, there's Emacs.

Emacs isn't an editor. It's a way of life.

Whichever is the distro's default when I select a file to edit. Personally, I don't see enough difference to make a fuss... unless you know of one that does rocket science or brain surgery.
