+1

Although vi/vim will surely win the popularity contest. Otherwise, when it comes to actual text editing, there is NO contest... :D

gedit/nano

I like vim,gedit,nano ... all are best ...

Mainly I like the syntax highlighting method of these .....


anyway voting for vim ...

vim or vi very fine for me, feel like a real geek... :)

Made me think... When I just want to edit a text (a story, an article) I use PyRoom.

vim for me when using command line but Sublime Text is my graphical text editor of choice

vim. Once you tame the beast :)
Geany is nice, too.

I expected this thread to be millions of pages long.

As Mark from Aark would say, nano nano...and Gedit/Kwrite!

Kate (it's basically a multi-tab version of KWrite with plugin support) for GUI, Vi for CLI

It's a pity there isn't two polls to differentiate between text editors under different environments

For me, Geany provides the easy useability, and comfort I need for programming..Go Geany

Emacs!

Nedit

+1 , but voting for nano . its very easy to use.

vim of course. Is there anything else? :)
