I use vi, vim and Xemacs mostly. In windows I use Notepad
just because it's there. I don't use windows for anything
bar playing the odd game so I don't have to do any heavy
work in it. The posts about Notepad+ caught my eye though,
I'll check it out.
With regards to editors under unix, I have long tried to stay away from the religious aspect of it although I think the flame fests can be funny they are getting a little tiring. Not that anything I think is going to stop history repeating itself. Many of the new college graduates I've worked with arrive into the company not really caring what they use but within weeks they are either raving vi nuts or raving emacs nuts. It's a cultural marker I suppose. I use vi or vim for system administration type work and for writing small bits of noddy code like the average perl script you see posted around here. For serious, project work, tracking down bugs in large collections of software or anything else of that nature I use emacs. I learn something new about emacs every now and again, it doesn't give up it's secrets too easily. Many would hate it for that. I love it for that. Why ? Well here are just a few of the reasons.
