Text Editor of Choice?

[microchip8]

nano for terminal-based editing, kwrite for GUI ones

I voted Kate because that's what I use for most of my development work (and there's a nice Groovy/GSP syntax pack for it). However, I'm using it less since the last Netbeans release came out, which also works well with Groovy, but in addition has excellent Grails support, which Kate does not. So I'll probably be using Kate less. Then it would be KWrite for GUI editing, nano or vim for CLI editing (I try to force myself to use vi, but currently I don't use any of its real powerful features; I should draw an analogy of sledgehammers and nutshells here...).

No Midnight Commander?

For simple text Gedit seems cool
If i get down to code Geany is really good

[rcabane]

I would vote for Nedit !

I use jedit jEdit - Programmer's Text Editor - overview and offcourse vim.I have just started exploring Quanta and kdevelop for website development.

Nano for terminal based stuff and kate for the rest. No real reason for Kate but I hate vi.. just not experienced with it I suppose..

Well I don't mind using kwrite for simple edits, but for anything beyond a simple text file edit I prefer something bigger

Like eclipse

Vi for most of my editing. Every now and then I will fire up gedit, but I just love the feel that vi has. It's just a well designed text editor and I love the modal concept.
