What about Kate? That's my preferred one excepting when I'm working at a virtual console - there, it's VIm.

Same here. When in GUI it's Kate, absolutely, and in Terminal it's Vi(m).

agreed. VIM is good at a terminal, GEdit is fairly impressive when a few plugins are enabled, but KATE wins hands-down, if only for having a bit of speed, sane keys, and almost-perfect dynamic wrapping.

mcedit from Midnight Commander, its really simple and very cool, with highlight of code and much more.

If you haven't tried it, do it, you wont regret it.

Vi is a very good editor.But it sometimes has some strange behavior.
So here comes the Vim and makes it perfect!

All emacs for me, used to be a vi guy, and I will still use it if I am on an embedded linux for some reason and there is no other choice. Otherwise I don't care for a stateful editor.

I love Vi, but I question if we still need the confusing "stateful" concept: after all, we have keyboards with many more keys than we used to have when Vi and Emacs were developed. At that time, the only reliable qualifier was Control, the Meta had to be backed-up by the a sequence involving Esc because not all terminals generated it in the same way. Not to mention the confusion about the 8th bit...

Today we have pretty standard Control, Alt, and Super (Windows?) keys on PCs, and a similar situation holds for Macs (which have always been ever smarter in the use of qualifiers key). There are also keys that we hardly remember having, or fail to understand what they are supposed to be there for (the Insert key, for example, do you switch between overwrite and insert modes so many times that it deserves a dedicated key? — or the NumLock key: do you ever unlock the numeric pad?).

I'd love to see a Vi reincarnation that makes extensive use of all our keys and relaxes the strict insert mode/normal mode paradigm.

Last time this was asked I was an XEmacs user of many years. Then recently XEmacs became unstable on my machine, kept forgetting its configuration options, and generally being a bite in the rear end. This prompted me to give gvim a serious trial (as I was already using vim for many things anyway) and now I can say that I'll never need another editor.

Here's a vote for X2. Available on Linux, AIX, Windows, OS/2, and even DOS. Modern derivative of XE editor on 4690 OS for Cash Register Systems which grew up to be SLickEdit.

On 3rd October of 2005, i started using vim for first time.


And by today, 4 years from there - i used vim & vim only. I write documents, develop programs, even draw flowcharts in vim. And in everything it makes me to do the work faster & perfect. Also, i became a lover of vim, the most flexible & productive editor in the world.


I do write a lot of its feature/tips & tricks in my blog.

I really like vi/m. I feel like I should learn to use emacs at some point but vi is on every machine.
