I was curious to know what is the editor of choice for my fellow Linux users. For years it has been a vi vs. emacs debate but it appears there many more. Please reply with your favorite editor. I personally prefer vim.

My answer is that it depends on what I'm doing. If I need a small file built quick, I might just go with simply redirecting input with cat, or use Nano (or Pico). I like mcedit and vim for command line use, but Kate is my preferred editor for coding in a GUI.

I like vi because it's quick to start up and is available on all systems, even the most bare-bones Unix servers with just a text console.

For text based, Nano... For GUI based, I'd have to say Quanta, if we can count Quanta as a text editor...

It's a little embarrassing when I type pico on a machine only to find out I have to type *nano instead ;) But on Slackware, we actually have pico
