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.
