Emacs, or Vim?
jtpenrod:
--- Quote from: Pathos ---vi or pico or something. Its closer to the bare minimum you need to edit a text file.
emacs is just bloat. There is a mini version but no one uses that ...

Not really. When doing programming, it's very convenient to be able to have everything right there, as opposed to having another desktop open and switching back and forth to edit and compile. For just plain old text editing, I prefer JEdit.
Bazoukas:
Pico all the way. If I need more time to type commands for a fucking editor than to write a shell script, there is something very wrong there.
I use Vi only when I dont have any other editor.
I never used emacs and I have no interest in learning it.

Damn right there is!

I keep a copy of GNU Emacs on my flash drive, because all the good computers I can use are stuck with Winshit. I'd actually prefer an emacs-type editor in Perl (If no one else has made it I will)
I hate vim. vim sucks almost as much dick as microcrap.
Ed is too terse and unusable
vi is good, but I prefer Emacs.
Besides, I usually stay on the console and don't touch X unless I need to.
Edit? Don't make me laugh. Never touch it.
Nano/pico? Maybe good, I've never tried it.
