Vim for sure, even though, I'm still using nano after I upgraded to 64bit Gentoo.. Too lazy to type "emerge vim" to my shell which is always open on the background.

Thumbs up Kate
Still using Kate. I don't like console based ones very much (if I need one over SSH I use nano).

vi / vim for me. Simple as they come and they do c/c++ source code highlighting and formating.

Jeremy,

Could it be possible (not too late ???) to add mousepad editor to your poll list ?

It's a simple texte editor now being embedded in the xfce 4.4 series.

I like it's simple design and easy of use for typing litte memo.

Thanks.

Chris

Voted for gedit. I've been using KWrite mostly on KDE, but when I moved my new desktop to FC6 I decided to try Gnome, and I found gedit. At the cli I use joe. I never could get my head round vi, and for some reason never got to emacs.

My choices:
Nano for terminals,
Gedit (or xfce's Mousepad) for GUI

Cheerio,
Petra
