This is a personal not a technical question
What is your favorite text editor?

Mine personally is joe, or if I need to make a quick one or two line text file i use cat

gbhil · 04-02-2005, 06:47 PM

Ditto on cat for one line edits.
For plain text file editing I find myself using nano about 90% of the time, the other 10% being mcedit if I have mc running.
For code editing I use emacs, because I'm an old, stubborn idiot who won't switch to scite or kate

gedit for for code and vi for system stuff

mainly because I'm not all that good at emacs... and i use vi becuse it is the 1st one that i learned

nano! everythime.
OOWriter for more "fancy" stuff though

I like vi for text editing. Pico for quick edits. For coding though, I use KWrite.

I use pico for quick edits and xemacs for serious coding (I have to admit I love the tabbed viewing of the source code files)

On the CLI it's nano or mcedit , in X it's Tea.

phil.d.g · 04-04-2005, 07:29 AM

for editing configuration files, or on the old command line I use either joe or pico. In X and for programming I use emacs

EDIT: PS, whats text editors got to do with water coolers
