Which editor do you use?

[compiledkernel]

No this is not another Emacs vs Vi deal.

:)

[LaRoza]

Windows + Linux: Vim

Linux: Gedit with Plugins

Windows: Crimson Editor

(Voted Vi(m) because that is what I use by default, if I don't have Crimson Editor or Gedit)

(flamebaiter :))

[fuscia]

nano

[p_quarles]

Vim, except in the few cases where I have to do something that I don't yet know how to do with that. Then it's kate.

[init1]

I use nano for most of my text editing. I don't use it exclusively though. When I'm deleting several lines at a time, I use ed. When I want the benefits of a GUI, I use leafpad. Depends on the situation.

[Dr Small]

I use nano for text editng on my server, and gedit for general editing with syntax highlighting.

[SunnyRabbiera]

[FuturePilot]

Gedit and Nano.

[peabody]

I voted emacs, but I'm bi-textual. I've used both vim and emacs pretty extensively...I use Emacs when programming on projects, I use vim for fast edits on the command line.

[ynnhoj]

vim for me; i used to use leafpad a bit too, but don't really bother with it at all anymore.

[fedex1993]

you forgot one bluefish why nto bluefish is nice

[Luggy]

Scribes is also good. However it feels like it is missing polish. Regardless it is good for starting to write code, gvim is good for finishing the job.

There are dozens of popular ones that aren't on there, but polls are limited to ten options.

Removing emacs to make room would be no problem.

[p_quarles]

I agree. What is that short for again? Eight megabytes and continuously swapping?

/runs

[igknighted]

Voted Vi/Vim.

I use Vi as much as I can, but also am a big fan of Kate for when I want a GUI. Gedit is a worthy replacement for kate when on Gnome.

Perhaps this should have been a multiple choice poll as many use several editors?

[Ptero-4]

LeafPad is mine for text editing under X. nano is it when editing on the console.

[yatt]

I use Kate. Gedit, when I do not find it worth it to install all the KDE libraries.

I use nano when confined to the CLI.

[DjBones]

i'm a fan of vim,
but gedit is great too..

i've heard good things about emacs and kwrite though

[Red Shift]

Kate fulfills my limited needs.

[jsmidt]

Vim all the way. I used to only use it terminal based, but have come to enjoy converting to gVim, I still haven't decided which one I like better.

Vim anything is the best. :)

[samwyse]

Nano and KWrite. Kate has too much going on. I'd use KEdit, but it dies opening large files.

[bobbocanfly]

Gedit for programming and configs on my desktop. Nano on my server.

[kevdog]

Vim is great for quick edits, however I can only remember about 5 commands. Ive gone over the guides, learned a few more, however when I come back the next time, I forgot what I have learned. Gedit and Kate are very good, Kate for having multiple tabbed windows up.

[bmathis]

nano for all of my cli editing :)


I voted emacs, but I'm bi-textual.This is just too funny:lolflag:

[Rutabega]

I used to use gEdit while in a gnome centric environment, but as of now I have Leafpad with my fluxbox set-up.

[Mateo]

someones bound to say "LaTeX"

latex is not an editor though ;)

I use gedit and nano. I don't use vim or emacs because I think having to "learn" how to use a text editor is ridiculous.

[bufsabre666]

nothing wrong with the default gedit ((especially once you make it non default style))

[Trail]

I also use kwrite instead of kate, when on KDE (like work). Kate has, yeah, too much going on.

I use gedit at home because i don't bother; partly because i don't have to use a text editor much, and also because I use a dark theme on GNOME and CBA to set KDE'S colors to match it.

Nano on CLI. Vi is good, but I don't want to spend time learning it.

[frodon]

You forgot nedit, it is the one i always use at my job, at home gedit is way enough for what i do with it.

[AndyCooll]

I've started to use Nano, because of it's simplicity. Otherwise Gedit or Vim (which I also use at work).

:cool:

[Crossover]

gedit is my fav

[dark_harmonics]

Gedit works great for window-based editing, but if I need a quick text edit i use vim. We were just taught it at school and so I became very fast with it.

[urukrama]

Mousepad. (I voted Leafpad)

[Onyros]

I've used Vim, I abhorr Emacs, I got tired of Gedit, and use Leafpad for GUI and on the N800.

Other than that, it's nano all the way... but my favourite is still Beaver.

[tszanon]

Gedit or nano, it depends on the user interface (graphical or text-based).

[Onyros]

Oh, I totally changed my mind.

I use butterflies (http://xkcd.com/378/), now.

[init1]

Ah! You beat me to it! :D

[macogw]

ViM on Linux and Windows and Mac. Vi on Solaris (because most of the Solaris servers I use at school lack ViM...though I did compile it for them and now just ftp around a tar of it so I have it :D ). Once you notice "Visual" mode on Vi, it becomes more usable. It makes it much easier to move chunks of text around. Aside from Firefox and Pidgin, I pretty much live in the terminal, so opening something like Gedit would be too slow. I use Gedit for virtually passing notes in class...set it to a huge font size and type the note, then turn the laptop so the kid next to me can see.

[compiledkernel]

Oh well Im just a Joe user, never got that out actually I dont think.

Not too many of us around.

Additionally have been known to use sed , and vi. But I wouldnt swear to it.

[peabody]

Since no one's mentioned the latest xkcd, looks like I'll bite:

[vedavrata]

Where is the 'geany' is the list ?! :confused:

Ehh, post #37 seems to have taken care of that.

Is it really the latest? I thought we were up to xkcd #732 now...

[karthick87]

I use Gedit

[NCLI]

Nano is great.

[matthew1471]

Vim for terminal stuff and Geany for windowed stuff.
