vi, vim, gvim. Really the first one is sometimes uncomfortable... So - (g)ViM 7.0 alpha not forever, but only until release.

Kate by a mile! I don't know of another GUI editor that comes even close; on any platform.

Kate is my best girl! She rox!

In addition, she cleans up my messes and knows how to dress up nicely.

East or West.. Emacs is the best.. I simply can't live without it.
It's the text editor of the century. Nothing cannn replace things like gcc and so is emacs..

Could have voted for Vim but I like GUI more

i personally like leafpad

coltree · 03-01-2006, 04:36 AM

I've been using leafpad for my gui editor because it's simple and uncluttered.

I use vi for short simple tasks, edits and scripts. However, for larger tasks, I prefer a GUI text editor. Given that I have only worked with OS for about a year and in particular Red Hat distributions, I have gotten use to Kedit as a GUI based text editor.

nano on all my other consoles except pico on redhat 9 (yuck) Still want a version of nano that will work on my Solaris 10 boxes. Working in vi just bites.

I had to pick vim/vi. I love the color highlighted syntax for certain languages. I have to admit, though, that emacs is pretty solid and pico/nano is very simple to use, but once you learn vim it is worth it

other: kwrite (for the syntaxis recognition and IMO how simple is to use)

first of all-pico and nano are the same things
when i was a newbie no one ever introduced me to vi(m), i always used nano
when i try to use it now-it just seems less productive
