Some people need to get out more
 

Here's one (I guess). I do use vim for quick edits, but if I want to do some serious editing, there's no question about the fact that emacs is the way to go. While this obviously falls into the religious war category, I'd really suggest you vi people give emacs a serious look. Yes, things are done differently, but the fact that you can "easily" extend emacs to do things that you want is a huge win.

Cheers.

My favourite is vi!!!

i vote for vi/vim.
for konsole is vi/vim, and gvim for X.

I use joe, perhaps not the best but its what I use..

for quick edits => nano :D

We'll consider Mousepad for next year.

This is easy.

Just press F12, watch Yakuake slide down and type vi <Enter> for the simplest, quickest, and most powerful editor at your hands.

Anything else is just silly.

console -> nano!
everything else -> Kate!!!

gedit!! tabs for a text editor?! fuckin brilliant!

Vim on console, GVim in X. It just works.

My signature says it all.

Glory to Emacs for ever and ever! There is none more powerful!

Apply Greenspun's rule to text editing: "Any sufficiently complicated vi implementation contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Emacs."

Remember the Number of the Beast is: vi vi vi

But seriously, vi is great for quick edits, but contrasted to the raw power and flexibility that Emacs offers (I read email / Usenet / RSS in it for crying out loud) there's just no comparison. Emacs Lisp gives you much more power than any other editor programming system. It may take a long time to fully grasp that power, but it's there ... waiting ... biding its time in the quiet places of the world ... :)

Like that taylor about "vi vi vi.

I would have to admit that I like elvis(vi clone)

I use vim be it in CLI or in GUi. Vim's been my all time favourite editor.

Thanks you vim !! ;-)

When I started with Linux I flipped a coin. Which editor? It became Emacs. Only later did I come to appreciate what an awesome editor vi is (too). But the vote goes to my workhorse: joe. Emacs and vi will win enough votes anyway.
