99% of the time 'vi'.

Used to use 'pico' few years back during school.

I use nedit most of the time, it's a little easier to use than vi (not as many "hot keys" to memorize), but can at times not be quite as robust, especially when dealling with large files. I guess that it really depends on what one is using it for, and one's preference, but both are good.

I like vedit for Unix stuff (www.vedit.com) but the best editor of all other stuff is Kedit version 1.5 (www.kedit.com). It hasn't been updated since Jan 1998 but it is the most powerful editor around. It is a full screen editor with a command line. With the sample macros that you can download for free, you can virtually do anything with a file.

vi & notepad :P

Well, if you're the kind of user that finds himself doing the same edit to 99 lines and wondering if he should write a perl script to do this for you, vi may be the editor for you... Instead of the limited search/search-replace functionality many editors have, vi supports full-blown regular expression search and search-replace. It's got many little features that let you do more work with less keystrokes but regexes is the "wow" one.

Go to www.vedit.com, download trial. It's great. The best one I use for Unix.

I'm a vi/vim fan
