Hey, unix/windows/mac guru's, what's your favorite editor?

[LordRaiden]

For windows, it has to be notepad. Totally simple and unimpeded editing for files.

For Unix it has to be VI. I use pico for all the non-critical editing, but VI for the rest.

What do you use?

Anyway I like vim under *nix.

[HarryAngel]

VI all the way

vi

 

[wyvrn]

unix -- vi
windows -- wordpad

I don't use a mac enough to know what editors it has.

 

[mpitts]

windows - notepad
linux/os x - vi

vi

pico when i started, but i finally memorized the keystrokes to save/exit in vi, so i don't get trapped anymore

vi. It's so "rough" looking like old DOS Edit, but like a bad crack habit, once you get used to it, it's hard to put down.

 

[DumbGuy]

I think I'm the only one who likes pico/nano.
vi is okay.

 

[LuckyTaxi]

pICO!!!

what's so special about VI?

 

[GT1999]

I hate vi. It should die.

 

[Buddha Bart]

I spend about 4 hours a day in pico at work.

[Nothinman]

vim everywhere, you realize there's a win32 port right?

 

[Barnaby W. Füi]

vi(m)!

vi is the nectar of the gods.

 

[Craterer]

vim.

 

[Chaotic42]

Jed baby.

If you want to scare someone away from using your BSD or Linux system, explain how to use vi to them. Worked for me and my roomate. He won't touch Linux

 

[stndn]

*nix: vi/vim
windows: vim 6.0

i'm a keyboard person -)

<esc> ZZ

 

[Sid59]

windows : textpad

 

[notfred]

Windows: EditPlus
Unix: vi even though I'm not very good with it.
MacOS: BBEdit

 

[Descartes]

Windows: UltraEdit. I've used others (MultiEdit, EditPlus, TextPad, ad nauseum), but I always come back to UltraEdit.
Unix: vi. I don't use unix as a desktop OS, so I have little need for X. vi suits my CLI needs just fine.

Brief (old DOS programmer's text editor). Luckily Visual Studio 6 has good Brief command emualtion
