I use setted Notepad2 by default editro on every pc I prepare.

Metapad default for Terminal Server environment (with Notepad2 also avaible).

GVim default (with my menus) for myself

Been using VI for the past 15 years. Tried Emacs, pico and other editors, but I always go back to Vi. There is a stiff learning curve, but once you get hang to it, it is a powerful editor. Also, vi is everywhere, so no problem working on any machine.

I usually use Vim for small editing like config. files, etc, and for large ones like writing C/Java/Python applications Emacs. However, I prefer Emacs, because there’s everythink I need (e-mail and Jabber client, music player, etc). I love GNU

I use The One True Editor, Emacs, of course. The only reason to use vi is to edit my sources.list so I can apt-get install Emacs.

Emacs. Love its GNU style, love that I do not need to leave the editor whole day.

For most of the daily jobs: vi/vim on Solaris, Linux, HP-UX and Windows (first thing after installing a Win, is to install some usefull tools – including vim).
Also NetBeans as IDE for Java.

Tried EMACS when some of my friends pushes me, but I don´t have enough time for it.

Few years back I also used MS Visual Studio as IDE for C#.

vi(m) on all my systems whether they be Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, or any version of Windows. I usually stay at the command line so I use vi from there. I also have the Windows version of VIM installed so if I happen to be in the GUI, I’ll use VIM.

The reason? I know it, been using it for so long, great automation and in the event you have to boot into a single user system from a floppy, USB device or CD, it may be the only editor available-although that scenario is getting less and less likely since there are so many live DVD and CD distros that have a full blown GUI that can be used for recovery.

Pretty much use (g)vi/m everywhere…. osx, linux, windows. Most cuz it’s always there (except widows) and I am used to it.

I use vi/vim pretty much exclusively on *nix, TextWrangler (by the BBEdit folks) on MacOS X, and I stay as far away from Windows as humanly possible.

I probably don’t use Emacs because my work *nix work environment is exclusively Solaris, which doesn’t come with Emacs out of the box. I stick with vi because it’s guaranteed to always be on whatever box I’ve got to work on, even if it’s not something I’m a primary admin on.

If I were a programmer, I would definitely use TextMate on OS X, as it out-paces every other editor on Earth.

Interesting… It seems that most people here use emacs.
