Emacs, or Vim?

<< < (7/9) > >>

cymon:
I love nano, vim is also a great editor. I can't stand emacs. All I really want is a simple text editor, and vim and nano fill that need. I don't need all of emacs' fancy features, if I want to run a word processor, I'll get OpenOffice or iWork going.

Pathos:
My favourite editor is notepad2, the syntax and controls are just perfect. with metapath its very nice to use on projects (think kate).

it works with wine but I don't have that on my laptop and so I've been using nedit which is close to perfect.

ReggieMicheals:
Vi is a pretty good text editor, but not UNIX n00b freindly
eMacs is a pretty good text editor, but not very simplistic.
I haven't tried any other *NIX text editors after using BeOS.

MS-DOS Editor is a pretty good. It can open multiple documents, auto tabs in the next line if you tabbed the current line. Easy to use GUI-like interface without the need to memorise any commands. Easy to the n00b. Probably one of the best editors if you're using windows/DOS and could care less about syntax hilighting. Sure, MS Edit is similar to notepad, but has many more features.

Aloone_Jonez:
I don't know if I agree, MS-DOS Edit is shit because it doesn't support the UNIX format and it's worse than notepad because you can't drag and drop text, word wrap or load large files. I actually quite like Gedit which comes with Gnome, it's both fast and simple.

Opinion is opinion, thats what polls are usually for...
