| I can't believe how we never made a poll about this. What is your favorite text editor? I'm not taking about the graphical ones. Terminal editors only. I still use nano btw. |

| mcedit from Midnight Commander. |
| I'm never going to learn vim. I've just accepted the fact ;) Nano for life |
 |
| Oh I forgot the inbuilt editors. |
|
| I use a mix of neovim and emacs with evil-mode. |
| Vim for everything. I got so accustomed to the shortcuts that I get a little frustrated using other text editors. |
 |
| Nano, I want to learn vim but end up keeping on pushing it off to later, the only time I used vim was during college practicals and all I can remember is the it was kind of confusing ^^; |
| Nano, I suppose. A basic text editor is fine for me, as I don't use the command line very much. |
 |
| Good old Nano. |
| Most of the time I prefer graphical editors (Mousepad is the one I'm currently using), but I use nano when I need to do a few simple things while I'm on the terminal. I want to learn both vim and emacs, though. Btw, if we count ed as a valid text editor I guess we should count sed and maybe awk as well, as they perform similar tasks. If so, I'd choose sed over nano as I use it more often. |

|
| For the terminal editor I use exclusively Nano. It is simple and is also simple to use. I do prefer the GUI editor kate btw. |
 |
| I use nano but learning vim too. |
 |
| I have installed autocomplete for vim and modified vimrc to include syntax highlighting by default and mouse support. Now I can write code with auto-complete, reformat code and a lot more from the command-line. P.S. I never use command-line editor if I do not need to. Sublime FTW. But if I need to do something without leaving the terminal (or outside of the GUI), vim is the editor. |
| I was using nano with pseudo-emacs keybindings for long time before moving to emacs itself. noaccOS said: Emacs has my heart but I still use vim from time to time, mostly to edit doom emacs' config when emacs says "nope, I'll just crash" You can run emacs -Q illuminatibg said: P.S.

Check slap, it is a Sublime-like editor for terminal. |
 |
| I use micro, I came over from nano. |
| I use Nano, but I plan on learning to use Vim, the problem is that I am lazy, so I have been planning to learn Vim for over a year without ever starting. |
