What's your preference when it comes to text editors in linux?

I use pico, and sometimes, barley ever, emacs.
It is good to be good, but it is better to be lucky.

I use vi, becasue iago gave me the 5 sec. tutorial.  Its also the only one OpenBSD comes with by default.

vi, vim, elvis.  Original vi is the most fun, but I prefer vim with syntax highlighting and auto indenting and stuff.

vi, vim, winvi, or (rarely ever), pico.

My list of "Things To Do Before I Die" includes learning emacs.

emacs is another text editor? How hard could it be to learn if it is?

If you think learning how to use a text editor is always easy, you've obviously never learned vi. 

emacs probably isn't horribly difficult, it's just learning how to use it and how it works that's tricky.

Also, to use emacs to its fullest, I'd like to learn how to make extensions for it which are written in Lisp.

I don't have Linux.. I've used VI before though (once). didn't seem TOO hard for me, but then I only used it for about two minutes.

Technically they are written in Emacs Lisp, which is different than Common Lisp ;P Emacs Lisp is much simpler than Common Lisp, although standard emacs distributions offer an optional extension file that adds much of Common Lisps functionality to Emacs Lisp.

I know it's not standard Lisp.  But that wasn't important enough to the subject to mention, I figured :P

Would KWrite count or is my definition of a text editor wrong? :P

I most often use nano(pico) because im just changing something in a config file or such and have no real need for super fancy features. If im forced to code something ill use the VIs, but I prefer to do all my coding in IDEs.

I code Java in Eclipse (yes, I do it over VNC if I need to do it on Pie. Being a 56ker makes you very lag tollerant), and in pico sometimes. For writing ASM code, which I've never done on Pie, I use UltraEdit-32, a simple text editor, so I'd probably use pico on a *nix box.
