What's your favorite text editor?

[UsualSuspectXXX]

I used to only use Notepad++ and Vim (yes, even on Windows). When I started my new job I switched over to Sublime and haven't dared go back. One of the largest appeals was the plugin for Salesforce.com development (my company is a Salesforce shop).

All this is just another reason why I love this forum.

I used to collect text editors like my wife collects shoes.

Among the collection were...

Then I got good with emacs and all other editors just fell by the wayside.

Anyone using Coda/Coda for iOS? The iOS app just got a massive update. Definitely going to buy it soon, and will probably gift it for a friend of mine's birthday.

Looks awesome, I have been thinking of purchasing it but would rather wait until I get a suitable iPad to edit with.

somewhere between emacs and mg for me! I don't use enough emacs plugins to make it an "ide" and i continue to work to make a leaner versionbetween the two extremes in that regard.

I used to use vim a lot, and i won't lie i make use of "hjkl" when i can find it implemented in applications that make use of it, ie: manpages, document viewers. if anyone uses a kde linux distro, okular is great for the hjkl-ing

ps: i'm often amused by the editor religious wars, but this graphic makes me smile; take note that she advises you learn both vim and emacs http://sachachua.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/How-to-Learn-Emacs-v2-Large.png

pps: i do want to see what all the textmate hype is about...

For Windows, it would be Sublime or Notepad++. I install Notepad++ on all new computers (much easier to use than Sublime for most people I've introduced both to).

I keep putting off learning Emacs. I will have to take the plunge one day. With Evil mode, of course.

"You'll pry Vim out of my cold, dead hands... even after I switch to Emacs"? Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

I don't use anything unless it has vim bindings available. I'm just nowhere near as productive without it.

Macros, norm, sed, block selection, ci/di/yi commands, etc. are all in other editors but my muscle memory is so solidified it's just not worth using anything else.

Every now and again, I end up running vi inside an emacs terminal.  It's like they say: emacs is a fine operating system that only lacks a good editor.

The emacs/vi thing is a total false dichotomy for me.

I use Notepad++ because I'm too lazy to use anything else

I suspect that Emacs is a far more malleable tool than Vim.

I'm totally addicted to Vim's modal editing, but I don't feel strongly about Vim the tool itself. I'm not going to try and use it for everything. Instead, I run Vim plugins in various IDEs depending on what I'm working on.
