not trying to start any holy wars, honest.

please vote, reasons why are (obviously) optional...

You left out Pico/Nano. (But then I see this is in programming...)
I think you are trying to start a holy war.

I usually stick with the simplest.

On Linux: pico, kwrite.
On Win: notepad.

epm, not available outside OS/2 ... :/

In Linux: emacs with Else-mode

Cheers,
Tink

in console: vim

in X: cooledit

it's nice, fast, and has good features.

Well I voted for vim. If you would have asked me this quesion earlier, vim would be my last choice.

funny how things can change.

Just wondering: back in the Windows-XP days, I used TextPad a lot. It there anything that good and fast available in Linux too? Sure it exists, but never really looked good enough I think.

Vim has my vote, cuz it's small and efficient; it has only what I need to work(no useless things on the sides).
It's an text editor, only a text editor... Not a coffee, vaccum [...] machine like emacs

hehe You've got my vote too

but let's not start an vim-emacs here here shall we?

Tough, there is something I'd like to share with you: I once read the quote "Emacs is a great operating system, but it lacks good development". --hehe cute. But honestly, I never used emacs, so I believe I'm a little biased.

Under text mode I use the editor included with mc, under X, I use kwrite.

As for vim,emacs and the likes, I couldn't do anything useful with them because I couldn't understand how to use them!

mtb · 07-15-2003, 09:48 AM

Nedit. Sometimes i use vim, but needs a lot of time to be fully understood.

emence · 07-15-2003, 09:53 AM

If im in the console, i prefer either pico or vi, if im outside the console i prefer QUANTA PLUS..
QUANTA ROCKS IMHO

Nylex · 07-15-2003, 11:43 AM

Emacs here, don't like vi much.

Mara · 07-15-2003, 02:51 PM

So I'm first hare to say I don't like emacs and vim, I prefer something simplier - use joe in console, no preference in X.

Mathieu · 07-15-2003, 06:36 PM

I don't like Emacs and even less vi/vim.

In X, I use kwrite
In console, I use pico
