i use emacs localy and remotly with ssh tunnelling yes emacs has a lot of add ons but these help you to do your work inside emacs without leaving the console or the window in x and you can customize every single thing to your taste thats wht makes emacs my editor of choice

I like Kate but I use vi when I'm confined to the console.

I use Emacs. You would not believe how many files I've screwed up trying to use vim to edit them. I especially like the way Emacs will automatically properly indent a line of text whenever you press tab.

I do have a couple of complaints about Emacs, though.

The keyboard code to exit os C-x C-c. These keys are so close together that I'm always accidentally exiting Emacs. Also, there is no redo, so if you undo too much, you are stuck retyping your code.

Either way, it's better than having to press 'I' whenever you want to type something.

From the emacs-help :*)
Code:
  Any command other than an undo command breaks the sequence of undo
commands.  Starting from that moment, the previous undo commands become
ordinary changes that you can undo.  Thus, to redo changes you have
undone, type `C-f' or any other command that will harmlessly break the
sequence of undoing, then type more undo commands.
Cheers,
Tink
