I voted for vim earlier, but now am very happy to know that vi/vim leads the race, that is also by 1000 votes difference.

I am proud to say that i use vim daily for all my programming and documentation needs. Also i too write "vi/vim tips & tricks" at the blog TGS.

I will sometimes use xedit but really only for the purpose of copying/pasting a large amount of info from an unlogged xterm. And, if I'm copying something from Unix box to Windows to put in, say, an email, I will first paste it into notepad before putting it into my email because pasting it directly into email generally tends to screw everything up.

When in a Unix environment, and actually editing something.... vi 100% of the time. And since a lot of what I end up doing is repetitive, I like the ex commands files. This was the first editor I ever worked with and I've never had a reason to change.

I absolutely love Notepad++ and use it exclusively on any WinX machine. As far as the *poll* goes, I use vi!

Me too. I really like Notepad++ on my XP machine.

I wish I could find something free and excellent like Notepad++ for OSX.
