Programming and Scripting :: Favorite text editor?

My favorite of all time is Useful Editor, part of the Useful Utilities.

Written in assembler by a consumate code hacker.

I just wish he would port it from DOS to *nix.

Nano.

Gui editors:
1# jEdit
2# Nedit

Nedit as of now! :laugh:

Linux Mag then asked: "So you didn't really write vi in one weekend like everybody says?"

No. It took a long time. ... So the editor was optimized so that you could edit and feel productive when it was painting slower than you could think. Now that computers are so much faster than you can think, nobody understands this anymore.... People don't know that vi was written for a world that doesn't exist anymore - unless you decide to get a satellite phone and use it to connect to the Net at 2400 baud

Thanks for the insight. Thanks also to the other poster for the fond memories of FidoNet.

Emails would be a lot shorter these days if everyone had to start on FidoNet!

not a popular answer, but I am emacs all the way. Proably because that is what I started with. But I actualy like the insane key strikes you can do. yes, they are nuts, but they can save hours of work.
