What does your favorite text editor say about you?
,----[ Quote ]
| Gedit
|
| You are a bit like the Notepad user, but you use Ubuntu or Fedora instead of
| Windows. Gedit is the default, and that’s what you use. It is completely
| sufficient for editing small config files, and you never really needed stuff
| like syntax highlighting. It never occurred to you that you could use
| anything else. The KDE practice of starting names of all their applications
| with k annoys you.
|
| Microsoft Word
|
| Microsoft Word is not a text editor. You should not be allowed near a
| computer. In fact you are the cancer that is killing the internet. Kill
| yourself.

Watch this Windows user from ComputerWorld blaming Linux for not running a
Windows (win32) application well enough. Linux is not Windows.
Linux text editors: Do any make the grade?

| So, did I find the single killer text editor I'd been seeking? No, but I
| uncovered several good applications that should meet the requirements of
| users with different needs. If I switch to Linux full time, I'm confident I
| could stitch together a couple of separate apps that would largely do what I
| need.

The Text Editors of KDE
,----[ Quote ]
| Kate is somewhat of the all in one "Swiss army knife" of basic text
| editors. It's got a little bit of everything for everyone that you'd
| need in a basic text editing interface. The next step up is to go
| directly to a full blown word processor. There really is a
| fascinating number of things you can do with Kate, not the
| least of which is to use it to do basic perl and php coding.

Chat it up in Emacs with IRC modes
,----[ Quote ]
| Sometimes it seems like the Emacs editor has features that only
| operating systems have. You can, for instance, run an Internet
| Relay Chat client to chat online right from inside of Emacs.
