If I'm on a *nix box, it's emacs. If that's not available,
I use vi. On Win*, I use TextPad. If it's a very short
script, I'll use cat or notepad. You say you are not looking for
an editor holy war, but your post is full of comparisons between
/vim?/ and emacs. What exactly are you looking for here? Work
with whatever makes you the most productive and happy,
I say. Don't worry about what others use, except from
a curiosity standpoint.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
