I am using emacs+auctex for *tex edition. To edit configuration files I use vi incarnations: what system offers by default as original vi replacement: elvis in Slackware, vim in others.

You know what even more real hackers do?

"Real" and "Programmers" in whatever connotation -- I associate automatically FORTRAN with them.

;)

Mentioning Fortran..What about COBOL progarmmers. I recall that strange creature from "freedriodrpg". Sad history. But for sure she is source of weapons allowing to figth droids.

Code:
vi
[i]Thanks to (the) code maybe typing is easier? :doh: powers out...

Very amusing. In 1981 I coded in Fortran on an IBM/370, maintained my files using JCL and that all on punch cards of course. My fellow student choose to switch to Pascal, using a VSPC terminal, we both came from Algol60. Unfortunately that doesn't qualify me as a real programmer, I can't even remotely understand 360 assembly language.

I startet with FORTRAN in 1977 or 1978 on a Siemens system (BS2000, also punchcards) and changed later to JCL on a Fujitsu 200, connecting with terminals. Actually my nic is the most irksome error I used to produce when I came from a prolonged field season and forgot to dynamically link the input stream...

Interesting to see that Emacs is gaining tracion - when I mentioned it a few years back all I got were snears. Now, I think, org-mode has really brought a lot of new users to Emacs. Ironically, I don't use org-mode much. I do however, edit text, in one form or another, with pretty much evertyhing I use my computer for. And, you guessed it!! Emacs has a mode for that! https://xkcd.com/378/ IRC, IMAP, pretty much every programming language under the sun. Very nice to have a unified set of keybindings ported across protocol clients, etc. So... w/o further adieu, I vote Emacs :D

Tried pretty much all of these, and they all fail to deliver. I still have to switch back/forth to vim/geany because the two powers have never merged to a mature text editor solution.

...and supports emulation of the Wordstar editor, because sometimes you just need to boot up a time machine that'll take you back to 1983.

None of those listed, my favourite is THE (The Hessling Editor)

vim me to the moon
 
Started with Unix in 1987. In 1991 vim came out and I have loved it ever since.

My vote is vim.

Isn't jed a joe version?

'80 for me. Was at UC so vi was natually on the system. And nothing less than a godsend considering many/most compsci students of the day were still using punch cards. Never really got too excited about vim. Perhaps because I spent more time on pure Unix and vi was sure to always be there. As Linux displaced Unix I used vim because it was sure to always be there!

Fast forward a few decades and I'm now an Emacs user. All I can say is that I sure do wish I'd embraced learning Emacs a couple decades sooner.

Not to my knowledge, but both can emulate WordStar :)
