Re:What's your favorite editor to hack with? by nablaone on Sunday September 16, 2007 @04:54AM (#55216)
i'm a schizophrenic:

emacs - as a user, for lisp, xml, text, html templates, everything that takes time. Launched at morning.

vi/vim - as a root/admin, for editing config files, especially on remote machines

notepad.exe - on windows, very rarely

I'm basically the same, although I have viper and vimpulse modes switched on in emacs. (Years after switching from vim I still thought non-modal editing was an aberration, so I gave up trying to brainwash myself.)

And (very) occasionally I use ed to make small changes. That's mainly just to demonstrate my 1337ness to the one person who cares (me).
