Emacs is an IDE, though. It's greatest strength is that "I" part, not necessarily the text editor. Vim is more of a direct competitor.

For me, to complete as best text editor, disk-based editing is a must. For that reason alone, Ultraedit remains the best text editor and has done for many, many years.

You're an honest-to-god hex editor? I thought that was just something people said to sound bad ass, knowing they'd almost never get called on it. Most impressive.

(In case any of that sounded sarcastic, it's not. I'm in genuine awe.)
